Nellore
India
Nellore is projected to face significant climate hazards that include extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which pose serious health risks to the population. The city is expected to experience heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation, increasing the likelihood of flooding and waterborne diseases. Prolonged drought conditions will further challenge water availability and agricultural productivity. Additionally, Nellore is at an elevated risk for arbovirus transmission and malaria, intensifying public health concerns. These climate vulnerabilities highlight the multifaceted challenges the city will encounter, necessitating attention to both immediate and long-term impacts of changing climate conditions.
Hazard Outlook
How will Nellore's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Nellore's projected maximum temperature of 11.1°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Nellore ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 21 m elevation, Nellore faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Longest Heatwave
Nellore may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Nellore's projected maximum rainfall of 13 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Nellore faces high exposure to max temp, heavy rain, elevation and elevated exposure to heatwave, max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
