    • Okay la, so more frequent "50 year event" rains in Sinkieland. Just keep the storm drains cleaned up and remove any squatters and crazy people living inside those illegally :s
    • Maybe noob rub his face too much there but come here say bky
    • I thought she pariah jhb all along 😆😆😆
    • SINGAPORE - While wetter weather is expected in the second half of 2024 with the return of La Nina, it is unlikely to offer much respite from the heat, said the weatherman. This is because the weather phenomenon – “Little Girl” in Spanish – is not expected to overlap with the lingering effects of her brother El Nino, which has contributed to record-breaking temperatures globally in 2023 and 2024. El Nino typically brings drier, hotter conditions to South-east Asia and Australia, while La Nina usually brings wetter and cooler conditions. They alternate every few years and, together, the two phases are known as the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (Enso).   The peak temperature impact from El Nino was during its decaying phase between March and April 2024, said the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS). Currently, the Enso status is neutral, according to the MSS website, which means neither phenomenon is happening. This status is expected to remain until July. The MSS forecasts a 60 to 70 per cent chance of La Nina conditions developing in the second half of 2024.     Over the last few months, cooler sub-surface ocean temperatures have been observed in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, and this is a precursor to La Nina, added MSS.     On June 3, the UN World Meteorological Organisation said there was a 60 per cent chance of La Nina conditions from July to September and a 70 per cent likelihood of it from August to November. Depending on the strength of the upcoming La Nina and when it will peak, 2024’s annual average temperature could be either above or below the high of 28.2 deg C for 2023, the MSS said on June 7 in response to queries from The Straits Times. “Additionally, there is the long-term warming trend that needs to be considered,” added the MSS, referring to global warming.   Each month of the El Nino period between June 2023 and April 2024 broke global temperature records, said the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. La Nina typically brings more rainfall in Singapore, particularly during the South-west monsoon season between June and September, which is commonly the drier period here. “Currently, there is no clear indication of the timing and strength of the predicted La Nina event. We can expect some indication about one month ahead of the onset of La Nina, and this will also depend on the skill of prediction models,” said MSS.

If it is not very strong, its impact will also not be very strong.” On whether La Nina could prevent transboundary haze, MSS said: “While the likelihood of haze is usually lower during a La Nina event, it is still possible for (it) to occur depending on the location of the fires and wind direction.” It added that occasional periods of dry and warm weather can still be expected during La Nina. The previous La Nina episode between 2020 and early 2023 was particularly prolonged. Singapore saw the highest rainfall of 412mm in October 2022 in more than 40 years. Even so, the annual temperature in 2022 was the 10th highest since temperature records began in 1929. Dr Dhrubajyoti added: “El Nino just played a triggering effect on top of global warming. Therefore, even in the presence of La Nina, we cannot ignore the ongoing warming and the excess heat that is already stored in the atmosphere and oceans.”
