The number of days above 90° F has also risen in Louisville. When comparing the most recent 30-year period (1989-2018) with the historical period of 1961-1990, the average number of days above 90° F has increased by 12 days/year. Model projections indicate continued temperature rise for many decades to centuries. Studies indicate an additional 50-60 days per year above 90 degrees F by the middle of the century (RCP 8.5 in NCA4) for Louisville.A recent study on heat impacts to Louisville found that the 2012 heat wave led to 86 additional deaths. Almost 20,000 additional deaths are expected by the end of the century due to climate change induced heat waves. | |||
| 169594 | 49333 | City of Louisville, KY | United States of America | North America | 2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability | 2.1 | Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 2 | Temperatures have risen steadily in Louisville since 1948. The number of days above 90° F has also risen in Louisville. When comparing the most recent 30-year period (1989-2018) with the historical period of 1961-1990, the average number of days above 90° F has increased by 12 days/year. Model projections indicate continued temperature rise for many decades to centuries. If emissions are not reduced, the continued rise is expected to increase extreme maximum temperatures by an average of 8.3° F (range = 3.1° F to 13.6° F) by 2040-69 and 12.6° F (range of 5.5° F to 19.7° F) by 2070-99. If emissions are reduced, these extreme maximum temperatures could be limited to about 5.5° F by mid-century and and 7.1° F by late-century. | |||
| 169595 | 49333 | City of Louisville, KY | United States of America | North America | 2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability | 2.1 | Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 3 | Precipitation has been increasing in Louisville since about the 1980’s. Data from the Louisville International Airport weather station shows that all three of the wettest years on record have occurred within the last decade. When comparing the most recent 30-year period (1989-2018) with the historical period of 1961-1990, the amount of precipitation in the largest storm has increased by 12% in Louisville.Increased precipitation due to climate change may exacerbate this problem. With continued higher greenhouse gas emissions (RCP 8.5), 100-year flood events are expected to become 2.5 times to 3.5 times more frequent, as compared to the baseline (1950-2000) throughout much of the Louisville Metro region. Of note is the fact that 100-year flood frequencies can be limited to 1.0 to 1.5 times more frequent if emissions are reduced, saving $4 billion per year in flood damages at the national level. | |||

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 4 | Precipitation has been increasing in Louisville since about the 1980’s. Data from the Louisville International Airport weather station shows that all three of the wettest years on record have occurred within the last decade. When comparing the most recent 30-year period (1989-2018) with the historical period of 1961-1990, the amount of precipitation in the largest storm has increased by 12% in Louisville.Since much of Louisville's landscape is shaped by the Ohio River floodplain, the city is already prone to river flooding. Increased precipitation due to climate change may exacerbate this problem. With continued higher greenhouse gas emissions (RCP 8.5), 100-year flood events are expected to become 2.5 times to 3.5 times more frequent, as compared to the baseline (1950-2000) throughout much of the Louisville Metro region. Of note is the fact that 100-year flood frequencies can be limited to 1.0 to 1.5 times more frequent if emissions are reduced, saving $4 billion per year in flood damages at the national level. | |||

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 5 | Based on the best available scientific information and trends, it is highly likely that severe storms will worsen over the coming century. However, there is not enough information at this time to do a quantitative assessment of severe storm risk associated with climate change. | |||

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability | 2.1 | Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 6 | Louisville experienced 32 droughts from 1945 through 2015. The longest drought was 59 months from May 1952 until April 1957. The average duration of drought for Louisville is eight months. Droughts of 2007 and 2010 severely affected agriculture, wildfire risk, power generation, water prices, and ferry traffic. In addition, water quality in streams and rivers declined, and barges on the Ohio River were forced to reduce their cargo weight during drought, due to low river levels. Model projections show that overall drought stress is expected to increase in Louisville, even as average precipitation increases by 9%, on average. Because of much higher temperatures projected for the area, a modest increase in precipitation is not sufficient for offsetting higher evaporation and evapotranspiration rates. With continued higher emissions, drought stress is expected to increase 10-18% (14% on average) by the middle of this century. By late century, drought stress is expected to increase 10-21% (16% on average). If emissions are reduced, drought stress can be limited to 12-13%, on average, by mid to late-century. Some effects of drought, combined with a heat wave, include crop failure, water shortage, wildfire, erosion, ecological damage, and land subsidence. | |||

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 7 | Contamination of waterways with bacteria and other contaminants is already a hazard and prevents local residents from using creeks, streams, and rivers for recreation. Progress has been made on improving water quality in recent years and restoration efforts continue. Warmer waters and more larger storms could exacerbate the incidence of contaminated waterways. | |||
| 169600 | 49333 | City of Louisville, KY | United States of America | North America | 2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability | 2.1 | Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 8 | Model projections indicate 46 fewer days below freezing by the 2050s, and 64 fewer by the 2080s. With warmer and wetter winters, diseases such as mosquito-borne West Nile Virus, dengue, and Zika, as well as tick-borne Lyme disease, and Ehrlichiosis, could become more prevalent. Insect pests and disease organisms that reinvade Kentucky each year from the southern regions are likely to begin to overwinter in the region. Many vector-borne diseases seriously affect domestic animals and livestock, so climate change could impact food security as well as human health. |
