Srinagar's climate in the 2050s
2041-2060 compared with 1991-2020, moderate emissions
By the 2050s, Srinagar's climate comes closest to that of Raleigh (United States of America) today, though no large city matches it well.
Such a climate exists today, though not in any large city. Pakistan: the place on the map
+1.8°C
Mean temperature over the year
+1.7°C

Flood depth is read in a single 1 km cell at the city's centre, in today's climate. Other parts of the city can still flood. The country page names the deepest point near a coastal city in 2080, so its figure can be higher. See how deep a river flood reaches around Srinagar on the live map
