Jambi
Indonesia
Jambi is projected to face an array of climate hazards that pose significant risks to its environment and public health. Frequent heatwaves will likely increase heat stress among residents, while heavy precipitation is expected to lead to flooding and heightened water-related hazards. The city will experience prolonged drought conditions, adversely affecting water availability and agricultural productivity. In addition to these environmental challenges, the rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns will contribute to increased risks of arbovirus transmission and heightened malaria prevalence. These health impacts are particularly concerning as they threaten the wellbeing of vulnerable populations. Overall, Jambi faces a future where the interplay of these climate hazards could exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, necessitating comprehensive understanding and planning to mitigate their potential impacts effectively.
Hazard Outlook
How will Jambi'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, Jambi ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 32 m elevation, Jambi faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Jambi's projected maximum temperature of 8.9°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Maximum Rainfall
Jambi's projected maximum rainfall of 9 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Jambi may experience heatwaves lasting up to 3 days, lower than most other cities.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Jambi faces high exposure to heavy rain and elevated exposure to elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
