Bokaro
India
Bokaro is projected to experience a range of climate hazards that threaten its sustainability and public health. Extreme heat will become more common, leading to dangerous heat extremes that could impact vulnerable populations. The city will face increased heavy rainfall events, which could result in flooding. At the same time, prolonged drought conditions are anticipated, stressing water resources and agriculture. Furthermore, the combination of elevated temperatures and increased precipitation will exacerbate the risk of arbovirus transmission and heighten malaria prevalence. These interconnected challenges highlight a critical need for proactive strategies to mitigate risks associated with climate change.
Hazard Outlook
How will Bokaro's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Bokaro's projected maximum temperature of 11.4°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Bokaro may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Bokaro's projected maximum rainfall of 13 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Elevation
At 218 m elevation, Bokaro faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 8 days of heavy rainfall expected, Bokaro ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Bokaro faces high exposure to max temp and elevated exposure to heatwave, max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
