Tamluk
India
Tamluk is projected to face a variety of climate hazards that intensify its vulnerabilities. It will experience increased extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, posing threats to public health. Heavy rainfall events are expected to lead to flooding and water management challenges. Concurrently, prolonged drought conditions may negatively impact agriculture and water availability. Additionally, the city will confront a high risk of arbovirus transmission, amplifying health concerns among residents. These climate risks highlight the pressing need for awareness and action to address the challenges posed by climate change. The combined effects of these hazards demand attention to mitigate future impacts effectively.
Hazard Outlook
How will Tamluk's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Elevation
At 8 m elevation, Tamluk faces very high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Tamluk's projected maximum temperature of 10.8°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Tamluk may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
