Qingyuan
China
Qingyuan is projected to face significant climate hazards that threaten its environmental and public health. The city will experience frequent heatwaves, which are likely to increase in intensity and duration, raising concerns for heat-related illnesses and energy demand. Additionally, heavy rainfall events are expected to become more common, leading to flooding risks and potential infrastructure damage. Qingyuan will also contend with high arbovirus transmission risks, which could result in outbreaks of mosquito-borne illnesses. Moreover, there is an elevated risk of malaria, further challenging the health of the population. As these climate hazards intensify, they could adversely affect agriculture, urban living conditions, and overall community resilience, amplifying vulnerabilities and strain on local ecosystems and health systems.
Hazard Outlook
How will Qingyuan's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Qingyuan's projected maximum rainfall of 16 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At 29 m elevation, Qingyuan faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Qingyuan's projected maximum temperature of 9.5°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Qingyuan ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Longest Heatwave
Qingyuan may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, lower than most other cities.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Qingyuan faces high exposure to max rain and elevated exposure to elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
