Jinzhou
China
Jinzhou is projected to face critical climate hazards, including more frequent heatwaves that will pose significant health risks and strain water resources. Additionally, the city is expected to experience an increase in heavy rainfall events, leading to a greater likelihood of flooding and infrastructure damage. This scenario is compounded by the risk of frequent heavy precipitation, which can cause soil erosion and disrupt agricultural activities. The increasing intensity and occurrence of these climate hazards highlight Jinzhou's vulnerabilities and the urgent need for enhanced awareness and understanding of these challenges. As the climate continues to change, it is essential for Jinzhou to acknowledge its vulnerabilities and prepare for a future marked by these significant climate impacts.
Hazard Outlook
How will Jinzhou'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, Jinzhou ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Jinzhou's projected maximum rainfall of 14 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Elevation
At 30 m elevation, Jinzhou faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Jinzhou's projected maximum temperature of 9.2°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Jinzhou may experience heatwaves lasting up to 3 days, lower than most other cities.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Jinzhou faces high exposure to heavy rain and elevated exposure to max rain, elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
