Bangkok's heat reaches 'extreme danger' levels; could this be Singapore's future?

Singapore’s rising temperatures could soon mirror what Bangkok is already experiencing today. The Thai capital has hit “extreme danger” heat levels, with residents seeking refuge in cooling centres to cope. Experts warn Bangkok could face up to 120 extreme heat days of above 35°C a year by 2050, while Singapore may see the number of such days triple. As climate change and urban design push temperatures higher, extreme heat may soon become a daily reality across Southeast Asian cities.
