Changzhi's climate in the 2050s

2041-2060 compared with 1991-2020, moderate emissions

By the 2050s, Changzhi is projected to have the climate that Weifang (China) has today.

Climate risk in Weifang

+1.8°C

Mean temperature over the year

+1.9°C

Highest in the warmest month

+2°C

Lowest in the coldest month

+9%

Precipitation over the year

Under high emissions, Changzhi would have the climate that Weifang (China) has today.

How close the match is: 1.6 σ to the climate of Weifang today, where under 2 is close and over 4 is no match (Mahony et al. 2017). 3 of 3 climate model runs name the same city. Seasonal temperature and rain are compared, not extremes, city heat or the sea.

Hazards at Changzhi

Read at the city's centre and compared with the Atlas's 630 large cities. Moderate emissions is the IPCC's scenario SSP2-4.5.

Hot days in 2025, over 35 °C 0 days
Tropical nights in 2025, over 20 °C 54 days Among large cities: above 35% In China: 114 of 135
Hottest day of 2025 34.4°C Among large cities: above 33% In China: 111 of 135
Warming by 2050, moderate emissions +2.1°C Among large cities: above 59% In China: 71 of 135
Days with 20 mm of rain or more in 2025 5 days Among large cities: above 33% In China: 126 of 135
River flood depth, 100-year event Dry at the city centre point
Coastal flood depth, 100-year event Dry at the city centre point
Water stress Extremely High (>80%) Among large cities: above 70% In China: 1 of 135
Drought risk High Among large cities: above 50% In China: 1 of 135
Earthquake shaking, once in 475 years 0.75 m/s² Among large cities: above 56% In China: 47 of 135
Land burned in an average year 1% Among large cities: above 83% In China: 14 of 135
Cyclone wind, once in 100 years 0 m/s

Flood depth is read in a single 1 km cell at the city's centre, in today's climate. Other parts of the city can still flood. The country page names the deepest point near a coastal city in 2080, so its figure can be higher. See how deep a river flood reaches around Changzhi on the live map
