Singapore has experiecnced unusual heavy thunderstorms over the past few days, which is not a common sight in March. But the good thing is, its not the workings of Global Warming. phenomenon known as Equinox occurs when the centre of the Sun is directly above the Earth’s equator. This happens twice a year during March and October, and Singapore always experiences hot weather during these two months.
La Nina, is the main reason why singapore experienced such unusual rains. It is stronger this year due to a 2-degree Celsius drop in sea surface temperature, causing the wind to bring rain clouds to Southeast Asia.
While the La Nina effect could last several months, the Meteorological Services does not expect it to bring rain throughout the period. Still, the next few days are expected to be rainy.
seems like 2008 is going to be wet in sinagpore.
