Latur
India
Latur faces a future characterized by significant climate hazards that will impact its residents and infrastructure. The city is projected to experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, raising health risks associated with elevated temperatures. Furthermore, Latur will face frequent heavy precipitation events, likely resulting in flooding and additional risks to public infrastructure. Prolonged drought conditions are expected, threatening water resources and agricultural outputs, thereby affecting livelihoods. Adding to these concerns is the high risk of arbovirus transmission, which will elevate the likelihood of malaria outbreaks and other vector-borne diseases. Together, these climate challenges underscore the urgent need for awareness and resilience in Latur's development planning.
Hazard Outlook
How will Latur's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Latur's projected maximum temperature of 11.0°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Latur may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Latur ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Latur's projected maximum rainfall of 12 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Elevation
At 624 m elevation, Latur faces lower risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Latur faces high exposure to max temp and elevated exposure to heatwave, heavy rain, max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
