Brahmanbaria
Bangladesh
Brahmanbaria is projected to face significant climate hazards that threaten its environmental and public health. The city will likely experience frequent heatwaves, contributing to discomfort and health risks. Heavy rainfall events are anticipated to lead to flooding, disrupting agriculture and daily activities. Prolonged drought conditions could limit water availability and affect crop yields, heightening food insecurity. In addition, the elevated risk of arbovirus transmission and malaria signifies growing public health challenges, as warmer conditions facilitate disease vector proliferation. These vulnerabilities underscore a critical need for proactive measures against climate impacts, though our research has not yet documented any technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for this city.
Hazard Outlook
How will Brahmanbaria's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Brahmanbaria's projected maximum rainfall of 23 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At 13 m elevation, Brahmanbaria faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Brahmanbaria's projected maximum temperature of 9.6°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Brahmanbaria may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 8 days of heavy rainfall expected, Brahmanbaria ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Brahmanbaria faces high exposure to max rain, elevation and elevated exposure to max temp. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
