Mau
India
Mau is projected to face multiple climate hazards that pose serious risks to its future resilience. The city will experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which threaten public health and water availability. Additionally, heavy rainfall events are expected, increasing the probability of flooding, infrastructure damage, and related hazards. Prolonged drought conditions will also create significant challenges, leading to water scarcity and negatively impacting agriculture, which is vital for the local economy. Together, these climate risks highlight the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to address and adapt to the changing climate dynamics affecting the city.
Hazard Outlook
How will Mau's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Mau's projected maximum temperature of 11.8°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Maximum Rainfall
Mau's projected maximum rainfall of 14 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Mau may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Elevation
At 79 m elevation, Mau faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 9 days of heavy rainfall expected, Mau ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Mau faces high exposure to max temp, max rain and elevated exposure to heatwave, elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
