Explore historical climate variability, modelled future conditions and climate-related extremes across reference locations in Jammu & Kashmir.
Evidence for understanding changing temperatures, rainfall, hazards and long-term resilience.
Daily downscaled climate model output. Compare 2031–2040 and 2041–2049 against a 1995–2014 model baseline. This source ends in 2049 and does not offer separate SSP pathways.
Indicators are calculated transparently from daily ERA5 near selected locations. They describe climatological conditions — they are not flood maps, landslide risk models, glacier-loss forecasts or vulnerability assessments.
World Bank analyses on alpine glacier projections, compounded heat, extreme precipitation and trends provide broader context. Results shown on India pages are not automatically specific to J&K.
Each point is a settlement reference. Select one to update the data charts; values describe the nearest model grid cell and should not be interpreted as a district-wide climate surface.
Data provenance, geographic precision, model uncertainty and limitations are disclosed so this can be used responsibly in academic and policy discussions.
The historical explorer uses daily gridded ERA5 obtained through Open-Meteo. Annual temperature is the mean of daily 2 m temperatures; rainfall is the sum of daily precipitation. Baseline anomalies are computed from the selected period when 1991–2020 observations are present, otherwise against the available year-specific monthly climatology.
Future results are for a single selected HighResMIP model, downscaled to a point by Open-Meteo. The API covers 1950–2049; it cannot supply World Bank SSP trajectories to 2100. Period deltas are model-to-model-period comparisons, not changes between observed and model data.
The present dashboard focuses on locations in Jammu & Kashmir UT and deliberately excludes Ladakh. It does not provide polygon-weighted regional averages, catchment climate statistics or district maps. The World Bank's published ADM1 aggregations and administrative vintages require separate verification before use as J&K statistics.
