Xining
China
Xining is projected to face a future characterized by frequent heatwaves and heavy precipitation events. With rising temperatures, heatwaves will likely become more intense, impacting public health and increasing energy demands for cooling. Concurrently, the increase in heavy precipitation poses risks of flooding, soil erosion, and disruptions to local agriculture. These hazards will exacerbate existing vulnerabilities within the city's infrastructure and ecosystems, thereby challenging sustainable development efforts. Understanding these climate risks is essential for preparing and adapting to the changes that lie ahead. Comprehensive assessments of these vulnerabilities are critical as the city navigates the evolving landscape of climate impacts. Currently, technology-enabled climate resilience solutions have not yet been documented for Xining, which highlights the need for proactive measures to address these growing threats effectively.
Hazard Outlook
How will Xining'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, Xining ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Temperature
Xining's projected maximum temperature of 7.6°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Xining may experience heatwaves lasting up to 3 days, lower than most other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Xining's projected maximum rainfall of 6 mm is lower than most cities globally.
Elevation
At 2250 m elevation, Xining faces lower risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
