Berhampore
India
Berhampore is projected to face significant climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes that pose serious risks to health and wellbeing. The city will also experience heavy rainfall events that increase the likelihood of flooding, leading to potential infrastructure damage and displacement. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions are expected to emerge, threatening water supply and agricultural productivity. These climate challenges are compounded by a high risk of arbovirus transmission, creating concerns for public health as vector populations may thrive in warmer conditions. In summary, Berhampore's climate future will be characterized by a complex interplay of extreme weather events that require careful attention to minimize risks and enhance community resilience.
Hazard Outlook
How will Berhampore's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Berhampore's projected maximum temperature of 11.1°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Elevation
At 18 m elevation, Berhampore faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Longest Heatwave
Berhampore may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Berhampore's projected maximum rainfall of 12 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 9 days of heavy rainfall expected, Berhampore ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Berhampore faces high exposure to max temp, elevation and elevated exposure to heatwave, max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
