Bishkek
Kyrgyzstan
Bishkek is projected to face serious climate hazards in the coming years. Extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes are expected to become more frequent, posing substantial health risks to the population. Additionally, the city will experience an increase in heavy precipitation events, which could lead to flooding and infrastructural damage. This combination of extreme temperatures and increased rainfall presents considerable challenges to local communities and their resilience. The impacts of these climate risks highlight vulnerabilities that may exacerbate existing issues in water resources and urban planning. The future climate scenario underscores the need for increased awareness and planning to mitigate these risks as Bishkek navigates the challenges posed by shifting climate patterns.
Hazard Outlook
How will Bishkek'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, Bishkek ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Temperature
Bishkek's projected maximum temperature of 10.1°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Bishkek may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Bishkek's projected maximum rainfall of 6 mm is lower than most cities globally.
Elevation
At 751 m elevation, Bishkek faces lower risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
