Tangail
Bangladesh
Tangail is projected to face significant climate hazards that will impact its environment and public health. The city will experience extreme heat conditions, including more frequent heatwaves, which pose serious risks to health and well-being. In addition, heavy rainfall events are expected to increase, potentially resulting in flooding and complications in managing water resources. Prolonged drought conditions will also occur, challenging the availability of water for residents and agriculture. Moreover, the region is likely to see an elevated risk of arbovirus transmission and malaria, as changing temperatures and precipitation patterns create favorable environments for these diseases. Without a doubt, these climate vulnerabilities underscore the need for heightened awareness and preparedness as Tangail navigates its changing climate landscape.
Hazard Outlook
How will Tangail's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Tangail's projected maximum rainfall of 19 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At 14 m elevation, Tangail faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Tangail's projected maximum temperature of 9.9°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Tangail may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 9 days of heavy rainfall expected, Tangail ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Tangail faces high exposure to max rain, elevation and elevated exposure to max temp. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
