Article: Singapore to get hotter, more extreme weather in the future
According to the data in the article, Singapore's temperature will hit a record high about 36.7 deg C. On the other hand, Singapore has very low rainfall from about 241ml in January to 288ml in December. (Below avg) Also, wind patterns are influenced by North-East and South-West monsoons, hence, there are many variations in weather patterns.
I feel that this is quite a big issue for Singapore as our country is already very warm and if it gets any hotter more people will suffer from dehydration and heatstroke.Less rain means that we have less water in water catchment ares, therefore limiting our water supplies.Personally, I take quite a long journey to school every day, and if the weather is very hot, I will feel very uncomfortable and will not be able to stand it. Furthermore, Singapore is already very humid, when we sweat due to the hot weather, our persipration cannot evaporate quickly, and it will add to our uncomfort.
