SINGAPORE: In the worst-case scenario for climate change, Singapore may experience more severe weather by the end of the century, with more numerous very warm days, more intense daily rainfall, and more and more frequently dry spells.
May carbon emissions remain high, driven by “energy-intensive, geological fuel-based development,” Singapore’s second National Climate Change Study paints that picture.
Important weather variables like heat, rainfall, humidity, wind, water levels, change in means, and extremes are expected to change, according to a local study published on Friday, January 5, by the Centre for Climate Research Singapore.  ,
According to Wong Kang Jet, chief executive officer of the National Environment Agency ( NEA ), in the stakeholder report summarizing the study’s findings,” Climate change is no longer a distant threat, it has become an undeniable and immediate challenge for humanity.”  ,
” Its effects, felt all over the world, are especially severe for little island countries like Singapore.”
Grace Fu, the secretary for sustainability and the environment, unveiled a data visualization portal based on the study’s findings at the conference on Friday where she also announced the results ‘ transfer.
” Version three demonstrates that we will have to deal with more severe weather conditions, such as higher conditions, heavier rainfalls, and longer and more numerous clean spells.” Another indirect weather challenges, such as problems to water and food, may also result from these climate conditions, according to Ms. Fu.  ,
She pointed out that extreme weather has occurred all over the world, including in Singapore, where May last year’s record high temperatures of 37 degrees Fahrenheit was matched.
” Our environment’s steam and high moisture present serious health risks. Such extreme weather occurrences are expected to become more frequent and intense, and many of us are certainly worried about how we are preparing for them and how much worse they might get.  ,
” We will work to protect a lasting, adaptable, and tolerable Singapore for our coming decades, just as our forebears had done for us,” the statement reads.
