Imphal
India
Imphal is projected to face a future with frequent heatwaves that may lead to severe health impacts and strain on water resources. Heavy rainfall events are anticipated, potentially resulting in flooding and infrastructure damage. Furthermore, the city will experience an elevated risk of malaria outbreaks, threatening public health. These climate hazards not only pose risks to the population's well-being but also challenge the stability of local ecosystems and economic activities. Without documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions, addressing these vulnerabilities will require significant attention and planning. The cumulative effect of these hazards highlights the critical need for proactive measures to mitigate risks and enhance community resilience in the face of escalating climate challenges.
Hazard Outlook
How will Imphal's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Imphal's projected maximum rainfall of 15 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Imphal may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Temperature
Imphal's projected maximum temperature of 7.8°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 8 days of heavy rainfall expected, Imphal ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 777 m elevation, Imphal faces lower risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Imphal faces high exposure to max rain and elevated exposure to heatwave. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
