Darbhanga
India
Darbhanga is projected to face a future where extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes become increasingly prevalent, posing significant risks to public health and agriculture. The city anticipates a rise in heavy rainfall events, which could result in flooding and waterlogging, adversely affecting infrastructure and livelihoods. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions are likely to emerge, leading to critical water shortages and reduced agricultural productivity. The region also faces an elevated risk of arbovirus transmission, further complicating public health dynamics. These climate hazards indicate that Darbhanga will encounter significant vulnerabilities without documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions to mitigate these risks.
Hazard Outlook
How will Darbhanga's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Darbhanga's projected maximum temperature of 11.3°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Darbhanga may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Darbhanga's projected maximum rainfall of 13 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Elevation
At 59 m elevation, Darbhanga faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 9 days of heavy rainfall expected, Darbhanga ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Darbhanga faces high exposure to max temp and elevated exposure to heatwave, max rain, elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
