Trujillo
Peru
Trujillo is projected to face future challenges due to frequent heavy precipitation, which poses significant risks to its infrastructure and agricultural systems. The increase in extreme weather events may lead to heightened flooding and soil erosion, jeopardizing residential areas and vital services. Additionally, the reliance on local agriculture means that waterlogging from intense rainfall could diminish crop yields, impacting food security and farmers' livelihoods. The current stormwater management systems may also struggle to cope with these changing patterns, raising concerns about urban flooding and resource management. As these climate hazards intensify, evaluating the long-term effects on both urban and rural communities is essential, highlighting the urgent need for effective climate resilience strategies.
Hazard Outlook
How will Trujillo's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Trujillo may experience heatwaves lasting up to 47 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 35 days of heavy rainfall expected, Trujillo ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 51 m elevation, Trujillo faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Trujillo's projected maximum temperature of 7.0°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Maximum Rainfall
Trujillo's projected maximum rainfall of 1 mm is lower than most cities globally.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
