Jalpaiguri
India
Jalpaiguri is projected to face significant climate hazards in the coming years. The region will experience frequent heatwaves, leading to increased health risks and potential impacts on local agriculture. Additionally, heavy rainfall events are anticipated to intensify, which could result in flooding and associated infrastructure damage. The area is also expected to see a high transmission risk of arboviruses, such as dengue, due to changing climate conditions that favor mosquito breeding. Moreover, the risk of malaria is elevated as warmer temperatures may expand the habitats suitable for malaria-carrying mosquitoes. These climate challenges will likely exacerbate existing vulnerabilities in public health and infrastructure, making it crucial to focus on understanding and addressing the impending impacts of these hazards on the community's wellbeing and safety.
Hazard Outlook
How will Jalpaiguri's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Jalpaiguri's projected maximum rainfall of 24 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Maximum Temperature
Jalpaiguri's projected maximum temperature of 9.7°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Jalpaiguri ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Longest Heatwave
Jalpaiguri may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Elevation
At 88 m elevation, Jalpaiguri faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Jalpaiguri faces high exposure to max rain and elevated exposure to max temp, heavy rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
