Bogura
Bangladesh
Bogura is projected to face significant climate hazards, including dangerous heat extremes and extreme heat conditions. The risk of prolonged drought is expected to increase, putting pressure on water resources and agriculture. In addition, heavy rainfall events will likely become more common, raising the potential for flooding and associated damage to infrastructure and ecosystems. Public health risks are also anticipated, with an elevated risk of arbovirus transmission and malaria, as warmer temperatures create conducive conditions for disease vectors. The combination of these factors poses serious challenges to the community, necessitating proactive measures to address these looming climate threats. Addressing these climate-related vulnerabilities is critical for ensuring the region's resilience in the face of these projected risks.
Hazard Outlook
How will Bogura's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Bogura's projected maximum rainfall of 15 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At 20 m elevation, Bogura faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Bogura's projected maximum temperature of 10.4°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Bogura may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 9 days of heavy rainfall expected, Bogura ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
