Do not fill this in! === Climate === Despite being located south of the [[Tropic of Cancer]], Macau has a [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cwa''), characteristic of southern China. The territory is dual season dominant – summer (May to September) and winter (November to February) are the longest seasons, while spring (March and April) and autumn (October) are relatively brief periods.<ref name="MokHoi202" /> The [[East Asian Monsoon|summer monsoon]] brings warm and humid air from the sea, with the most frequent rainfall occurring during the season. [[Typhoon]]s also occur most often then, bringing significant spikes in rainfall. During the winter, northern winds from the continent bring dry air and much less rainfall.<ref>{{harvnb|Mok|Hoi|2005|p=220}}.</ref> The highest and lowest temperatures recorded at the [[Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau]] are {{cvt|38.9|°C|°F|1}} on both 2 July 1930 and 6 July 1930 and {{cvt|-1.8|°C|°F|1}} on 26 January 1948.<ref name = macaoclimate/> {{Macau weatherbox|collapsed=Y}} {{Panorama |image=File:Macau Peninsula Wikivoyage banner.jpg |height=220px |caption={{center|The Macau Peninsula skyline, viewed from Taipa}}}} {{Panorama |image=File:Macau banner.jpg |height=180px |caption={{center|View of the Macau Old City}}}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
