Climate Safety Score
5.5/10Moderate climate risk — address-specific
Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Pyangle faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its location and rainfall patterns. Climate change is expected to increase the intensity of rainfall events, potentially exacerbating flood risk.

- Pyangle has a high bushfire risk due to the surrounding vegetation and dry conditions, especially during the summer months. Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and severity of bushfire weather.
- Heat
- Pyangle is likely to experience more frequent and intense heatwaves as a result of climate change. This poses a risk to vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with chronic health conditions.
- Storm
- Moderate storm risk — East Coast Lows bring severe weather including hail and damaging winds
- Postcode
- 2849
- Highest high-risk exposure
- 10.7% of land (bushfire)
Climate Safety Analysis
Pyangle in New South Wales has an overall climate safety rating of Medium. This multi-hazard assessment combines flood, bushfire, heat, coastal, and storm risk data with climate projections to 2050 from CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology.
Key factors affecting Pyangle's climate safety include flood, bushfire. Each hazard is assessed independently and combined for an overall picture. Australia has warmed by approximately 1.5 °C since 1910, with flow-on effects to fire weather, extreme rainfall, and heatwave frequency.
Climate safety for property in Pyangle is not uniform — it varies by address. Factors such as elevation, distance to waterways, proximity to bushland, and local drainage all influence actual risk at a specific property. Two nearby properties can have materially different risk profiles.

Pyangle (postcode 2849) is tracked in ClimateNest's suburb hazard model, which maps the share of the suburb's land exposed to each hazard at high and moderate levels. The suburb's highest high-risk exposures are bushfire (10.7% of land in high-risk zones), riverine flood (9.8% of land in high-risk zones), surface flood (9% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Pyangle — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
