A:Light wind conditions, high humidity, and Singapore's highly urbanised environment can all contribute. During the inter-monsoon periods of April and May, and from October to November, people are more inclined to feel the heat due to light and variable surface winds, noted Associate Professor Koh Tieh Yong. Such conditions mean heat cannot be remo...
A:People in the north are more prone to experience scorching temperatures during the inter-monsoon months, data by the MSS has shown. Admiralty logged a new record for May at 36.7 deg C, surpassing the previous record high for the month of May of 36.5 deg C in 2010 and 2016. It also hit the second highest temperature recorded in Singapore on April ...
A:Global temperatures are expected to rise further due to climate change, which means Singapore is likely to set new temperature records in the coming months, experts say. It is already warming faster than the global average, and temperatures here are already 1.8 deg C higher than they were in 1948. In contrast, global temperatures have risen by ab...
A:Wet-bulb temperatures combine temperature and relative humidity, reflecting the human body's ability to cool down in hot and humid conditions. It shows the lowest temperature that air can be cooled down through the evaporation of water. The lower the wet-bulb temperature, the easier it is for bodies to cool down. Sweating cools us down but high h...
Mar 25, 2024 · The warmest years on record are 2019 and 2016 at 28.4 deg C and 1998 at 28.3 deg C. In 2023, Singapore was affected by a “double whammy” of climate phenomena that caused warmer than usual...
