Shanghai: Dry at the city centre point.
Xiangtan's climate in the 2050s
2041-2060 compared with 1991-2020, moderate emissions
By the 2050s, Xiangtan is projected to have the climate that Ganzhou (China) has today.
+1.7°C
Mean temperature over the year
+1.4°C
Highest in the warmest month
+1.8°C
Lowest in the coldest month
+2%
Precipitation over the year
Under high emissions, Xiangtan would have the climate that Ganzhou (China) has today.

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 Xiangtan on the live map
