Source

NASA POWER (Thailand Meteorological Department reserved as ground-validation)

NASA satellite-and-reanalysis climate dataset; daily maximum-temperature grid covering all 77 Thai provinces. Refresh: monthly upstream (NASA POWER finalizes a rolling 60-day window); TLI re-pulls annually for the heat-days metric.

Goalposts

The 0-to-100 score for this indicator is normalized against fixed methodology goalposts. The values below define the band; click through to the methodology page for the framework that anchors them.

Score 100: 60days/yr ≥35°C (≥95°F)
Score 0: 250days/yr ≥35°C (≥95°F)
Direction: Lower is better
Anchor: Fitted to the Thai provincial distribution

Goalposts of 60 days and 250 days are fitted to the observed NASA POWER distribution for 2024. Highland northern provinces such as Mae Hong Son and Chiang Rai record 60 to 100 days at or above 35°C; the hottest central plain and northeast provinces (Nakhon Pathom 150, Suphan Buri 146) approach 200 to 250 in extreme years. Heat index is conceptually preferred but is not available consistently across the source grid.

Live distribution: 25 of 77 provinces clip at the score-100 ceiling.

Which Thai province leads on Annual Count of Days With Maximum Temperature ≥ 35°C?

25 Thai provinces share the maximum TLI score of 100/100 on Annual Count of Days With Maximum Temperature ≥ 35°C; the strongest by raw value are Phuket, Rayong, and Trat (raw values from 0 to 0 days/yr ≥35°C (≥95°F)). The bottom of the distribution is Nakhon Pathom (150.6 days/yr ≥35°C (≥95°F), score 52.3/100).

Coverage

77 of 77 Thai provinces. Median score: 84.9. Each province's score is normalized 0–100 against fixed goalposts; a higher score is more favorable.

Reading the columns.Raw valuethe actual measurement in days/yr ≥35°C (≥95°F).Scorenormalized 0–100 against fixed methodology goalposts (not a percentile). Lower is better.Why ties?25 provinces share the score-100 ceiling because their raw values meet or exceed the upper goalpost. Provinces beyond the goalposts aren't separated further — that's the trade-off for fixed, year-over-year comparable scoring instead of percentiles.
