Erode
India
Erode is projected to experience significant climate hazards that threaten its environmental and public health. The city will face extreme heat events, which could lead to severe health consequences for residents. Prolonged drought conditions are also anticipated, impacting water availability, agriculture, and livestock health. Furthermore, the risk of arbovirus transmission is expected to rise, possibly resulting in increased disease cases. In addition, elevated malaria risks could disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, heightening public health challenges. These combined climate threats indicate a future where Erode will need to navigate complex vulnerabilities, requiring a focus on health, agriculture, and water management to mitigate impacts.
Hazard Outlook
How will Erode's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Erode's projected maximum temperature of 10.0°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Erode may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Erode ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Erode's projected maximum rainfall of 9 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Elevation
At 157 m elevation, Erode faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
