Gonda
India
Gonda is projected to face significant climate risks manifesting as extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which will increasingly affect residents and ecosystems. Additionally, heavy rainfall events are anticipated, potentially leading to increased flooding risks and waterlogging in urban and agricultural areas. On the flip side, the city will also experience prolonged drought conditions, creating a challenging environment for water resources and food security. These climate hazards together will exacerbate vulnerabilities, putting pressure on local infrastructure and public health systems. The combination of these risks signifies that Gonda's resilience will be continually tested by interconnected climate challenges, necessitating timely adaptation measures. The future climate scenario emphasizes the need for comprehensive planning to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather patterns. As Gonda navigates these hazards, the urgency for understanding and addressing climate vulnerabilities becomes paramount for sustainable development and community well-being.
Hazard Outlook
How will Gonda's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Gonda's projected maximum temperature of 11.6°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Gonda may experience heatwaves lasting up to 7 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Gonda's projected maximum rainfall of 16 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Gonda ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
