More Rain Will be Expected in the Next Few Months in S’pore Due to a Natural Climate Phenomenon

Now, if you’re a fan of layering your fashion, and you love the “air-con” weather we’re having now, we’ve got great news for you.

The Singapore weathermen have spoken and it’s likely that Singapore will be experiencing more rain.

For how long?

Months.

La Niña

La Niña is a natural climate phenomenon that brings wetter weather conditions to Southeast Asia.

And it’s been confirmed that the region is now under La Niña conditions.

Now, if you have trust issues with Singapore’s weathermen, know this: This was confirmed by not only the Meteorological Service of Singapore (MSS), but also the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The conditions are expected to persist until “early 2022”, MSS says.

So what does this mean?

This isn’t the first time Singapore is experiencing La Niña conditions.

Between June and September last year, Singapore was also experiencing La Niña conditions.

Then, it was found that rainfall collected in those few months were above average by 40%.

The MSS believes that La Niña conditions had contributed to the increase.

If you’re not a fan of the rain, here’s some good news.

According to the spokesperson for MSS, it is anticipated that the La Niña conditions this time will be weaker.

How La Niña Works

There’s a really scientific explanation on the internet for those who want to know the specifics.

But really, this is Goody Feed, and you know we like things simple.

In simple terms, the wind blowing from east to west grows stronger.

This, in turn, causes warm water to be tightly stuck in the maritime continent, which is where we’re at.

The warm water is a supply of moisture, and with more of such supply, more rain clouds will be formed.

What This Means For You

Simply put, get used to carrying around your umbrella in addition to your masks and hand sanitisers.

Also, you might want to make it a habit to check the MSS’s website for weather forecasts.

And, of course, always have wet weather back up plans prepared.

But then again, it’s COVID-19 and you might want to limit your time outside although, granted, it seems that our COVID-19 infection rate has dropped.
