Editing Bangkok (section)

===Climate===
Like most of Thailand, Bangkok has a [[tropical savanna climate]] (Aw) under the [[Köppen climate classification]] and is under the influence of the [[Asian monsoon]] system. The city experiences three seasons: hot, rainy, and cool, although temperatures are fairly hot year-round, ranging from an average low of {{convert|23.2|C}} in December to an average high of {{convert|35.7|C}} in April. The annual average temperature is {{convert|28.9|C}}. The rainy season begins with the arrival of the southwest [[monsoon]] around mid-May. September is the wettest month, with an average rainfall of {{convert|335.9|mm}}. The rainy season lasts until October, when the dry and cool northeast monsoon takes over until February. The hot season is generally dry, but also sees occasional summer storms.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Climate of Thailand |url=http://www.tmd.go.th/en/archive/thailand_climate.pdf |publisher= Climatological Group, Meteorological Development Bureau, Meteorological Department |date=January 2012| website = tmd.go.th |location= Thailand | access-date= 26 September 2012 |archive-date=1 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160801225446/http://www.tmd.go.th/en/archive/thailand_climate.pdf }}</ref> The surface magnitude of Bangkok's [[urban heat island]] has been measured at {{convert|2.5|C-change|sigfig=2}} during the day and {{convert|8.0|C-change|sigfig=2}} at night.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Assessment with satellite data of the urban heat island effects in Asian mega cities |first1=Hung |last1=Tran |first2=Daisuke |last2=Uchihama |first3=Shiro |last3=Ochi |first4=Yoshifumi |last4=Yasuoka|journal=International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation |volume=8|issue=1|date= January 2006 |pages=34–48 |doi=10.1016/j.jag.2005.05.003 |bibcode= 2006IJAEO...8...34T |doi-access=free }}</ref> The highest recorded temperature of Bangkok metropolis was {{convert|41.0|C}} on 7 May 2023,<ref name=CNN>{{Cite news |last=Subramaniam |first=Tara |title=Vietnam and Laos record hottest temperatures ever as heat wave grips Southeast Asia |url= https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/08/asia/vietnam-laos-record-high-temperatures-intl-hnk/index.html |date=8 May 2023 |work= CNN.com |access-date=2 June 2023 |archive-date=6 July 2023 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230706194150/https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/08/asia/vietnam-laos-record-high-temperatures-intl-hnk/index.html |url-status=live }}</ref> and the lowest recorded temperature was {{convert|9.9|C}} in January 1955.<ref name="extreme minimum">{{cite web|title=Extreme minimum temperature during winter season in Thailand 71 year period (1951–2021)|url=https://www4.tmd.go.th/programs/uploads/tempstat/min_stat_latest_en.pdf|publisher= Climatological Group, Meteorological Development Bureau, Meteorological Department |website = tmd.go.th |location= Thailand |access-date=19 March 2023|archive-date= 19 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230319074858/https://www4.tmd.go.th/programs/uploads/tempstat/min_stat_latest_en.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Climate Impact Group at [[NASA]]'s [[Goddard Institute for Space Studies]] projected severe weather impacts on Bangkok caused by [[climate change]]. It found that Bangkok in 1960 had 193 days at or above 32&nbsp;°C. In 2018, Bangkok can expect 276 days at or above 32&nbsp;°C. The group forecasts a rise by 2100 to, on average, 297 to 344 days at or above 32&nbsp;°C.<ref>{{cite news |last1= Popovich |first1=Nadja |last2=Migliozzi |first2=Blacki |last3=Taylor |first3=Rumsey |last4=Williams |first4=Josh |last5=Watkins |first5=Derek |title=How Much Hotter Is Your Hometown Than When You Were Born? |url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/30/climate/how-much-hotter-is-your-hometown.html |access-date=1 September 2018 |work=The New York Times |date=n.d. |type=Interactive graphic |archive-date=21 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191221104933/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/30/climate/how-much-hotter-is-your-hometown.html |url-status= live }}</ref>
