Lakhimpur
India
Lakhimpur is projected to face significant climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes that will enhance public health risks and increase energy demands. The city will experience a rise in heavy rainfall events, contributing to flooding and potential infrastructural damage. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions are likely to threaten agricultural yields, undermining food security and livelihoods. The interplay of these factors indicates a future where Lakhimpur is exposed to critical vulnerabilities, demanding careful monitoring and strategic assessments of climate risks to prepare for these challenges.
Hazard Outlook
How will Lakhimpur's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Lakhimpur's projected maximum rainfall of 19 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Maximum Temperature
Lakhimpur's projected maximum temperature of 11.7°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Lakhimpur may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Lakhimpur ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 152 m elevation, Lakhimpur faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Lakhimpur faces high exposure to max rain, max temp and elevated exposure to heatwave. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
