SINGAPORE - Less rain is expected to fall on Singapore for the rest of September, but wetter weather could be expected in the months ahead.
"La Nina-like conditions have been detected in the west Pacific. These include characteristic changes in the sea surface temperature, cloudiness, and winds in the tropical Pacific Ocean," the Meteorological Service Singapore of the National Environment Agency told The Straits Times in response to queries last week.
La Nina and El Nino are opposite phases of a climate phenomenon known as the El Nino Southern Oscillation. The reason lies in the way the winds blow. In the tropical Pacific Ocean, winds mainly blow from east to west. But weather scientist Koh Tieh Yong from the Singapore University of Social Sciences noted that the rainfall experienced in the first half of this month is not likely to have been influenced by La Nina.
