Weifang
China
Weifang is projected to face significant climate challenges, primarily characterized by frequent heatwaves and heavy rainfall events. The increasing occurrence of heatwaves may lead to severe temperature extremes, affecting public health, agriculture, and essential water resources. Concurrently, the city will experience a rise in heavy precipitation events, which could result in flooding and pose severe risks to infrastructure and vulnerable populations. This dual threat of extreme heat and intense rainfall heightens the overall climate risk profile of Weifang, making it imperative to prepare for the anticipated impacts. As climate shifts intensify, the need for proactive measures to manage these hazards grows ever more critical to ensure community resilience and environmental stability.
Hazard Outlook
How will Weifang'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, Weifang ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Weifang's projected maximum rainfall of 15 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Maximum Temperature
Weifang's projected maximum temperature of 9.7°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Elevation
At 27 m elevation, Weifang faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Longest Heatwave
Weifang may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, lower than most other cities.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Weifang faces high exposure to heavy rain, max rain and elevated exposure to max temp, elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
