Adana
Turkey
Adana is projected to face considerable climate hazards, notably extreme heat and the increasing frequency of dangerous heat extremes. These hazards contribute to a future characterized by intensified heatwaves that threaten public health, particularly among vulnerable communities. The rising temperatures could exacerbate energy demands, strain water resources, and challenge infrastructure. While the specific impacts of these risks warrant careful examination, it is evident that the combination of extreme heat and frequent heatwaves will pose substantial challenges for the city. Thus, addressing these vulnerabilities is crucial for developing effective responses to mitigate the anticipated consequences of climate change in Adana.
Hazard Outlook
How will Adana's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Adana may experience heatwaves lasting up to 10 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Maximum Temperature
Adana's projected maximum temperature of 10.7°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Elevation
At 25 m elevation, Adana faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Rainfall
Adana's projected maximum rainfall of 10 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 9 days of heavy rainfall expected, Adana ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Adana faces high exposure to heatwave, max temp and elevated exposure to elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
