Gaya
India
Gaya is projected to face escalating climate hazards, notably extreme heat and prolonged drought conditions. The city will experience dangerous heat extremes that are expected to rise in frequency and intensity, posing serious risks to public health, agriculture, and overall livability. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions will exacerbate water scarcity issues, stressing both agricultural practices and daily water use. The impacts of these climate hazards are anticipated to create significant challenges for the community, as they may affect food security and increase the heat-health nexus, endangering vulnerable populations. Without documented technology-enabled resilience solutions, the city may struggle to mitigate these evolving risks. Overall, Gaya's climate future underscores urgent needs for adaptation and preparedness measures to address these formidable challenges effectively.
Hazard Outlook
How will Gaya's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Gaya's projected maximum temperature of 12.0°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Gaya may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Gaya's projected maximum rainfall of 12 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Gaya ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 117 m elevation, Gaya faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Gaya faces high exposure to max temp and elevated exposure to heatwave, max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
