Heat Wave

There is a heat wave in the South East and South-East Asia region. Temperature ranges from 37C to as high as 48C. Areas where it is extremely hot, people have died of the heat, and some schools were closed. April and May are usually the hottest months, but because of the El Nino effect, the temperatures have been higher than they normally were.

Over here, in Singapore, it is still not too bad compared to the neighbouring countries. The temperatures here range from 33C to 35C. However, the humidity is high – over 80%, making it quite unbearable when the air is still. The occasional light breeze makes all the difference.

Thick rain clouds made one feel smothered. Dark clouds brought with them the promise of rain. However, on most days, they passed right over us without stopping to unload the water they were carrying. I hope this heat wave will pass be over soon.
