Climate Hazard Breakdown for Alyarrmanje
Flood
Alyarrmanje faces a moderate risk of flooding, primarily from heavy rainfall events and potential riverine flooding. The risk is expected to increase due to climate change.
Key drivers:
- ·Increased rainfall intensity
- ·Changes in river flow patterns
Bushfire
The bushfire risk in Alyarrmanje is high due to the surrounding vegetation and dry climate. Climate change is projected to exacerbate these conditions, leading to more frequent and intense bushfires.
Key drivers:
- ·Increased temperatures
- ·Prolonged dry periods
Heat
Alyarrmanje experiences high temperatures, particularly during the summer months. Climate change is expected to lead to more frequent and intense heatwaves, posing a risk to vulnerable populations.
Key drivers:
- ·Rising average temperatures
- ·Increased frequency of heatwaves
Coastal
Alyarrmanje is not located near the coast, so the risk from coastal hazards is low. Sea level rise and coastal erosion are not significant concerns for this suburb.
Key drivers:
- ·Distance from the coast

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.

Learn moreAbout Alyarrmanje's Climate Risk Profile
Alyarrmanje, located in the Northern Territory, is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The primary concerns are increasing temperatures, prolonged dry periods, and the associated risk of bushfires. The region also faces a moderate risk of flooding due to heavy rainfall events.
The increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves pose a significant threat to the health and well-being of residents, especially the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions. It is crucial to implement adaptation measures to mitigate the impacts of extreme heat.
Bushfire risk is a major concern, with the potential for devastating consequences to property and lives. Effective bushfire management strategies, including fuel reduction and community education, are essential to minimize the risk.
While coastal risks are low, the potential for flooding from heavy rainfall events should not be overlooked. Infrastructure improvements and emergency preparedness planning can help to reduce the impact of floods.
Overall, Alyarrmanje needs to prioritize climate change adaptation measures to protect its community and environment. This includes investing in infrastructure, implementing sustainable land management practices, and raising awareness among residents about the risks and how to prepare for them.
