It can only climb higher

07May08

Did NEA really say 38 dec C in June??

Wah piang eh. Can steam liao.

I’m definitely going to take my showers and blast the aircon, no matter what traditional confinement rules dictate. Too bad I cannot enjoy free aircon at work instead

Looks like Qiqi will be a true blue summer babe. I certainly hope she takes to humid heat well.

And of course we have to be prepared for sky-high electricity bills. The 25 deg C suggestion by NEA to save electricity simply cannot work lah, I tell you. At least not for the next few months.

Expect Little Respite from the Heat
Straits Times, 7 May 2008

IF THE weather has been sweltering lately, it is because May is on record as the second-hottest month of the year here.

The fortnightly weather forecast by the National Environment Agency (NEA) indicates that up till the middle of this month, higher-than-average daily temperatures can be expected.

There will be little relief from rain, and winds will be too light to cool things down.

To top it off, a slight haze is also expected on some days between now and May 15.

In the first five days of this month, the mercury hit 34.1 deg C at its highest.

The average daily temperature for those five days was 29.3 deg C, slightly higher than the average daily temperature of 28.3 deg C in May in past years.

Expect temperatures to climb still higher – perhaps to 38 deg C – heading into June, traditionally the hottest month here…
