Mirzapur
India
Mirzapur is projected to face significant climate hazards that threaten its ecological and social frameworks. The city is expected to experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, increasing the risks of heat-related health issues. Heavy rainfall events are likely to escalate, raising concerns over flooding and soil erosion, while prolonged drought conditions could lead to substantial challenges for agriculture and water supply. As these conditions worsen, the interconnectedness of these risks may lead to complex and compounded vulnerabilities for the local population. We have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for Mirzapur, highlighting a critical need for effective strategies. Understanding these projected hazards is essential for developing adaptive measures and ensuring the community's safety and sustainability in the face of a changing climate.
Hazard Outlook
How will Mirzapur's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Mirzapur's projected maximum temperature of 12.2°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Mirzapur may experience heatwaves lasting up to 7 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Mirzapur's projected maximum rainfall of 14 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Elevation
At 87 m elevation, Mirzapur faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 9 days of heavy rainfall expected, Mirzapur ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Mirzapur faces high exposure to max temp, heatwave and elevated exposure to max rain, elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
