Projection of future precipitation extremes across the Bangkok Metropolitan Region.

ABSTRACT: There is a pressing need to develop local-scale climate projection profiles for supporting climate impact assessments. This study contributes plausible future precipitation scenarios for the Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR), which builds on the existing evidence base that projects increasing future precipitation. Meteorological data sets from 16 stations located within the BMR and nearby provinces were used for bias correcting five regional climate model scenarios, and future extreme indices were graphed and spatially interpolated to interpret how precipitation extremes may develop to the end of the 21st century. Results indicate that over the coming century, total annual rainfall will increase, with the volume and number of days with heavy/very heavy rainfall also increasing. Total month
