Chiclayo
Peru
Chiclayo is projected to face serious climate hazards characterized by frequent heavy precipitation and an elevated risk of malaria. The anticipated increase in heavy rainfall is likely to lead to flooding, damaging infrastructure and straining local communities. Moreover, the wetter conditions will foster environments conducive to the breeding of mosquitoes, heightening the malaria risk, particularly for vulnerable groups. These climate impacts can disrupt local economies, agriculture, and basic health services, intensifying food insecurity and public health crises. While challenges are apparent, we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions tailored for Chiclayo. Continued monitoring and research are crucial to address these vulnerabilities and prepare for the impending climate realities.
Hazard Outlook
How will Chiclayo's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 19 days of heavy rainfall expected, Chiclayo ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 32 m elevation, Chiclayo faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Chiclayo's projected maximum temperature of 8.1°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Chiclayo may experience heatwaves lasting up to 2 days, lower than most other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Chiclayo's projected maximum rainfall of 1 mm is lower than most cities globally.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Chiclayo faces high exposure to heavy rain and elevated exposure to elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
