Durg
India
Durg is projected to face significant climate hazards, including extreme heat events and the potential for dangerous heat extremes, which will adversely impact public health and comfort. Heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation could lead to flooding, compromising infrastructure and agricultural productivity. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions threaten water supply and food security, while the high arbovirus transmission risk, coupled with elevated malaria risk, raises serious public health concerns. These interrelated risks underscore the urgency for the city to navigate its future challenges, fostering climate resilience in response to these projected climate adversities. As climate projections evolve, the compounded effects of these hazards present formidable challenges for the environment and the community.
Hazard Outlook
How will Durg's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Durg's projected maximum temperature of 12.3°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Durg may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Durg's projected maximum rainfall of 15 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Durg ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 298 m elevation, Durg faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Durg faces high exposure to max temp, heatwave, max rain and elevated exposure to heavy rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
