Yantai
China
Yantai is projected to face increasing climate risks associated with heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation. These climate hazards are expected to intensify, resulting in greater occurrences of flooding that threaten infrastructure and public health. Additionally, the heightened rainfall will likely lead to soil erosion and waterlogging, adversely affecting agricultural productivity and food security. As heavy precipitation becomes more severe, urban and rural communities will experience significant challenges. Furthermore, we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for Yantai, which underscores the critical need for urgent action. Understanding these projected climate hazards is vital to ensuring a sustainable future for the city.
Hazard Outlook
How will Yantai's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Yantai's projected maximum rainfall of 18 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Yantai may experience heatwaves lasting up to 7 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Yantai ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 48 m elevation, Yantai faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Yantai's projected maximum temperature of 8.4°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Yantai faces high exposure to max rain, heatwave and elevated exposure to heavy rain, elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
