Davanagere
India
Davanagere is projected to face multiple significant climate hazards, contributing to its vulnerability. The city will experience extreme heat, increasing health-related challenges among its population. Additionally, frequent heavy precipitation is likely to lead to flooding and damage to infrastructure. Prolonged drought conditions threaten water availability and agricultural productivity, compounding food security risks. Public health will also be at risk due to high arbovirus transmission rates and elevated malaria occurrences. This combination of factors highlights the pressing need for enhanced awareness and adaptive measures to effectively address these climate threats. Without documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions, the focus remains on understanding the impacts of these hazards and preparing for their future implications.
Hazard Outlook
How will Davanagere's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Davanagere may experience heatwaves lasting up to 7 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Maximum Temperature
Davanagere's projected maximum temperature of 10.1°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Davanagere ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Davanagere's projected maximum rainfall of 8 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Elevation
At 594 m elevation, Davanagere faces lower risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Davanagere faces high exposure to heatwave and elevated exposure to max temp, heavy rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
