Constantine
Algeria
Constantine is projected to face a future where extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes are significant climate hazards. The increase in temperatures due to climate change may lead to higher instances of heat-related illnesses, particularly among vulnerable populations, straining health services. The urban landscape, with its limited greenery, risks creating urban heat islands, amplifying discomfort and increasing heat stress for residents during peak summer months. In the absence of documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions, the city faces challenges in addressing these vulnerabilities. Understanding and preparing for these climate risks is essential for safeguarding public health and promoting resilience against the increasing impacts of extreme heat.
Hazard Outlook
How will Constantine's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Constantine may experience heatwaves lasting up to 7 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Maximum Temperature
Constantine's projected maximum temperature of 10.1°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 8 days of heavy rainfall expected, Constantine ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Constantine's projected maximum rainfall of 7 mm is lower than most cities globally.
Elevation
At 562 m elevation, Constantine faces lower risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Constantine faces high exposure to heatwave and elevated exposure to max temp. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
