Rosario
Argentina
Rosario is projected to face significant climate risks as it navigates a future characterized by extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes. The frequency of heatwaves is expected to increase, with potential impacts on public health, infrastructure, and overall livability. Additionally, the city will experience heavier rainfall events, leading to increased risks of flooding and related consequences. These frequent heavy precipitation events may strain drainage systems, disrupt daily life, and pose challenges for local agriculture and ecosystems. The combination of rising temperatures and intense rainfall creates a complex web of vulnerabilities, necessitating careful monitoring and management to mitigate the adverse effects on the community. As Rosario looks ahead, the necessity for adaptive strategies becomes clear to address these evolving climate hazards, ensuring that the city can sustain its resilience in the face of these ongoing climate challenges.
Hazard Outlook
How will Rosario's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Rosario ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Rosario's projected maximum rainfall of 15 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At 18 m elevation, Rosario faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Rosario's projected maximum temperature of 10.6°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Rosario may experience heatwaves lasting up to 3 days, lower than most other cities.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Rosario faces high exposure to heavy rain, max rain, elevation and elevated exposure to max temp. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
