Shenyang
China
Shenyang is projected to face a future characterized by frequent heatwaves and heavy precipitation. The increasing severity of heatwaves poses significant risks to public health and energy demand, as rising temperatures strain resources. Concurrently, heavy rainfall events are expected to become more common, leading to potential flooding and disruption of infrastructure. These climate hazards threaten both the community's resilience and public safety. The ongoing risk demands careful planning and monitoring, considering the potential for adaptation. Although technology-enabled climate resilience solutions have not yet been identified for this city, acknowledging and addressing these vulnerabilities is critical for future preparedness and risk mitigation.
Hazard Outlook
How will Shenyang'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, Shenyang ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 45 m elevation, Shenyang faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Shenyang's projected maximum temperature of 9.2°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Maximum Rainfall
Shenyang's projected maximum rainfall of 10 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Shenyang may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, lower than most other cities.
