Cirebon
Indonesia
Cirebon is projected to grapple with several key climate hazards, including heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation that may lead to flooding. These issues are compounded by prolonged drought conditions, contributing to water scarcity. The region faces a high risk of arbovirus transmission, increasing chances of diseases like dengue fever, along with an elevated malaria risk. These climate hazards pose significant threats to public health and environmental stability, potentially straining local resources and healthcare systems. The intertwining effects of these challenges underscore the urgency for adaptive measures and effective responses to climate vulnerabilities in Cirebon, although documented technology-enabled solutions have not yet been identified to aid in this effort.
Hazard Outlook
How will Cirebon's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 12 days of heavy rainfall expected, Cirebon ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Cirebon's projected maximum rainfall of 12 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Elevation
At 25 m elevation, Cirebon faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Cirebon's projected maximum temperature of 9.0°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Cirebon may experience heatwaves lasting up to 3 days, lower than most other cities.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Cirebon faces high exposure to heavy rain and elevated exposure to max rain, elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
