Beihai
China
Beihai is projected to face increasing climate hazards that pose significant risks to public health and the environment. The city will experience more frequent and intense heavy rainfall events, which can lead to flooding and strain water management systems. Alongside this, a high arbovirus transmission risk is anticipated, intensifying health concerns. The changing climate conditions will also elevate the risk of malaria, further impacting community health and resources. These projected trends underscore the urgent need to understand and mitigate Beihai's climate vulnerabilities as it faces a future characterized by these growing challenges.
Hazard Outlook
How will Beihai's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Beihai may experience heatwaves lasting up to 11 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Beihai's projected maximum rainfall of 17 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At 14 m elevation, Beihai faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Beihai ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Temperature
Beihai's projected maximum temperature of 8.2°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Beihai faces high exposure to heatwave, max rain, elevation and elevated exposure to heavy rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
