Cixi
China
Cixi is projected to face critical climate hazards, including extreme heat and heavy rainfall events. The increase in extreme heat will likely impact public health and elevate energy demand, while intensified rainfall poses risks of flooding and infrastructure stress. These climate challenges threaten to disrupt local economies, compromise food security, and strain emergency management services. As the city encounters greater climate risks in the future, focusing on these vulnerabilities becomes essential for resilient planning. Without documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions, the understanding of Cixi's specific risks is vital for developing future strategic responses to mitigate potential impacts.
Hazard Outlook
How will Cixi's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Cixi's projected maximum rainfall of 15 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At 9 m elevation, Cixi faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Cixi's projected maximum temperature of 10.0°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Cixi may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 9 days of heavy rainfall expected, Cixi ranks lower than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Cixi faces high exposure to max rain, elevation and elevated exposure to max temp. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
