Agartala
India
Agartala is projected to face multiple significant climate hazards that threaten its environment and public health. Increased heavy rainfall events will likely lead to flooding, damaging infrastructure and agriculture. Alongside this, the region may experience prolonged drought conditions, exacerbating water scarcity and food insecurity. There's also a concerning rise in arbovirus transmission risks, raising the potential for outbreaks of diseases like dengue. Moreover, the city faces elevated malaria risk, which could further strain health systems. These interconnected climate risks underscore the city's vulnerabilities and the potential socio-economic consequences of continuing climate change impacts.
Hazard Outlook
How will Agartala's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Agartala's projected maximum rainfall of 24 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At 15 m elevation, Agartala faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Agartala's projected maximum temperature of 9.6°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Agartala may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 8 days of heavy rainfall expected, Agartala ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Agartala faces high exposure to max rain, elevation and elevated exposure to max temp. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
