Shizuoka
Japan
Shizuoka is projected to experience increased climate hazards, primarily characterized by heavy rainfall events. Such rainfall is anticipated to intensify, leading to significant risks including flooding, landslides, and damage to infrastructure. The overwhelming precipitation may strain drainage systems, resulting in urban flooding that could affect local communities and the economy. Additionally, the risk of landslides in hilly regions surrounding the city poses threats to safety and structures. Currently, we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions specifically for Shizuoka, underscoring a critical gap in preparedness for these climate challenges. These predicted impacts necessitate urgent attention towards improving adaptation and risk management strategies to mitigate the severe consequences of heavy rainfall in the future.
Hazard Outlook
How will Shizuoka's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Rainfall
Shizuoka's projected maximum rainfall of 25 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At 20 m elevation, Shizuoka faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Longest Heatwave
Shizuoka may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Shizuoka ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Temperature
Shizuoka's projected maximum temperature of 7.9°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Shizuoka faces high exposure to max rain, elevation and elevated exposure to heatwave. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
