Climate Risk Profile for Karangi, NSW
No measured hazard layer we hold covers Karangi, New South Wales, so no suburb-level figure is published for it. That is an absence of mapped data, not a finding that the suburb is safe. A ClimateNest report scores the address itself across eight hazards, with insurance and value projections to 2050.

Overall Risk Score
Hazard Breakdown
Flood, bushfire, heat, coastal and storm exposure are all assessed in this area. The score that matters is the property's own: a ClimateNest report scores the address across eight hazards, with insurance and value projections to 2050.
Climate Hazard Breakdown for Karangi
Flood
Karangi faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its proximity to waterways and low-lying areas. Intense rainfall events can lead to flash flooding.
Key drivers:
- ·Increased rainfall intensity
- ·Urban development
Bushfire
Karangi has a high bushfire risk due to the surrounding bushland. Dry conditions and strong winds can exacerbate the risk.
Key drivers:
- ·Dry vegetation
- ·High temperatures
Heat
Karangi experiences moderate heat risk, with increasing average temperatures and more frequent heatwaves projected.
Key drivers:
- ·Climate change
- ·Urban heat island effect
Coastal
Karangi faces a moderate coastal risk due to potential sea level rise and storm surges, though it is not directly on the coast.
Key drivers:
- ·Sea level rise
- ·Storm surge

Suburb figures are shares of land area inside published state hazard layers. They are not a property-level assessment, and a hazard missing from this page is one we hold no measured layer for, not one we found to be absent.

How the region's climate is projected to change
Regional projections, not a forecast for this street. Figures are from the WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation's climate projections for the South Western Flatlands region, which draws on CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology modelling.
Temperature
+0.5 to 1.1°C by 2030
Above the 1986–2005 climate, on all emissions scenarios. By 2090, 1.2 to 2.0°C under intermediate emissions or 2.6 to 4.0°C under high emissions.
Rainfall
Winter rain down up to 15% by 2030
The South West has been drying since 1970, and the decline has been larger than anywhere else in Australia. Heavy rainfall events are projected to become more intense even as totals fall.
Fire weather
Harsher, magnitude uncertain
High confidence that fire weather becomes harsher, low confidence in the size of the change, because it depends heavily on summer rainfall.
Sea level
+0.12 m by 2030
At the Fremantle gauge, range 0.07 to 0.16 m. Very high confidence that sea levels continue to rise through the century.
