Konya
Turkey
Konya is projected to face moderate climate risks, influencing its environmental stability and human activities. Key hazards include temperature fluctuations and altered precipitation patterns, which could result in droughts and flooding. These changes are expected to challenge agricultural productivity, affecting food security and local economies. The city's urban areas may experience heightened heat exposure and urban flooding, consequences linked to climate change impacts. Vulnerable communities dependent on agriculture could be particularly at risk, as their livelihoods may face disruption amid these shifting climate conditions. Addressing these vulnerabilities will be essential for maintaining the resilience of Konya’s infrastructure and the health of its population in the face of future climate challenges.
Hazard Outlook
How will Konya's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Konya may experience heatwaves lasting up to 10 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Maximum Temperature
Konya's projected maximum temperature of 9.1°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
