Nanning
China
Nanning is projected to experience dangerous heat extremes, with the frequency of heatwaves increasing, posing risks to health and well-being. The city will likely encounter more frequent heavy precipitation events, heightening the threat of flooding and infrastructure damage. Additionally, a high arbovirus transmission risk is anticipated, increasing the potential for outbreaks of vector-borne diseases. The conjunction of these hazards emphasizes Nanning's vulnerability to climate change, suggesting that without appropriate measures, the city could face significant challenges in safeguarding the health and safety of its residents in the coming years.
Hazard Outlook
How will Nanning'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, Nanning ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Temperature
Nanning's projected maximum temperature of 9.6°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Elevation
At 80 m elevation, Nanning faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Rainfall
Nanning's projected maximum rainfall of 10 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Nanning may experience heatwaves lasting up to 3 days, lower than most other cities.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Nanning faces high exposure to heavy rain and elevated exposure to max temp, elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
