Hermosillo
Mexico
Hermosillo is projected to face substantial climate hazards that threaten its future resilience. The city will experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, with frequent heatwaves posing significant risks to public health and infrastructure. Additionally, Hermosillo faces a future where heavy precipitation occurrences will become more common, greatly increasing the risk of flooding. The region is also likely to encounter prolonged drought conditions, which can severely deplete water resources and negatively impact agriculture. These combined climate challenges create a complex vulnerability landscape, necessitating urgent attention to mitigate the impacts on the city's residents and ecosystems.
Hazard Outlook
How will Hermosillo's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Hermosillo's projected maximum temperature of 11.8°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 12 days of heavy rainfall expected, Hermosillo ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Longest Heatwave
Hermosillo may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Hermosillo's projected maximum rainfall of 8 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Elevation
At 202 m elevation, Hermosillo faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
