Hohhot
China
Hohhot is projected to face significant climate hazards, particularly frequent heatwaves. These extreme temperature events are likely to lead to health challenges, particularly for vulnerable populations. As heatwaves become more intense and frequent, the impact on agriculture could be disruptive, with crops facing increased risk from prolonged heat and possible drought. Furthermore, the demand for water is expected to rise amidst higher temperatures, placing additional strain on the region's existing water resources. The city's infrastructure, notably in cooling systems and emergency services, may struggle to cope with the heightened frequency of such events. Thus, Hohhot faces a future where the ramifications of climate change, particularly heat, will pose challenges that need to be addressed to safeguard community health and ensure resilience in agriculture and water use.
Hazard Outlook
How will Hohhot's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Hohhot may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Hohhot ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Hohhot's projected maximum rainfall of 9 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Maximum Temperature
Hohhot's projected maximum temperature of 8.0°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Elevation
At 1056 m elevation, Hohhot faces lower risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
