Singapore to have more wet days, intense monsoon rains as La Nina set to persist until April

” We have what looks kind of like La Nina problems. Some of the symptoms of La Nina are visible, but it’s not a particularly powerful one, according to Mr. Tan Wee Leng, senior studies professor at the ASEAN ( Association of Southeast Asian Nations ) Specialized Meteorological Centre.

” We use a lot of different… annual climate models to forecast for the upcoming times that these La Nina-like problems will continue for the next few months,” says the team. However, it’s anticipated to return to natural in April.

The World Meteorological Organization added that any future La Nina celebration is likely to be subpar and short-lived in its most recent update next month.

OUTLOOK AFTER JUNE Bones UNCLEAR

Up until about June, it is anticipated that things won’t be back to normal.

According to Mr. Tan, it is” also to early” to predict what the skies may turn like after June.

” Specifically for ENSO, estimates after the northern hemisphere’s spring tend to be more questionable, sometimes termed to be the flower consistency barrier”, he said.

Mr. Tan added that the majority of the time, the current weather models don’t predict any El Nino or La Nina events coming up in the second half of the time or whether things will stay balanced. &nbsp,

He predicted that the condition will become more crystal clear in May.

” Usually, El Nino activities occur every three to seven years. Our next El Nino was in 2023 and 2024, but just simply based on that, we do not believe El Nino ( this year )– but there has been law. It has happened before”, Mr Tan pointed out.

However, some things are unavoidable, such as the two rainfall seasons that Singapore experiences each year: the west monsoon season that begins in May and the northeast monsoon season that usually occurs in December to March.
