Katihar

India

Katihar is projected to face significant climate risks in the coming years, characterized by extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes that threaten public health and wellbeing. The city will experience an increase in heavy rainfall events, resulting in frequent heavy precipitation that could lead to flooding and waterlogging. Furthermore, prolonged drought conditions are anticipated, which may impact local agriculture and water supply. Moreover, the high risk of arbovirus transmission is expected to rise, posing additional health threats associated with warmer and wetter conditions. As these challenges intensify, Katihar's future climate scenario underscores the urgent need for resilience as extreme weather patterns become more frequent and unpredictable, stressing the interconnectedness of these hazards on overall community stability and safety. The lack of documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for the city hinders immediate adaptation efforts, making the situation more critical.
