2023-05-10 06:30:43 Ever noticed that it gets foggy after prolonged or heavy rainfall? This is because the air is saturated with water vapour, which then condenses around the dust particles in the air, and clumps together. Hence, the fogginess!

2023-05-07 06:00:01 When your household batteries (such as the AA- and AAA-sized batteries) reach the end of their life, recycle them at an e-waste recycling bin! If you’re recycling 9V and li-ion batteries, or power banks, be sure to tape the ends to reduce the risk of short-circuits, which could lead to fires.

2023-05-02 03:01:07 It’s World Tuna Day! If you have leftover canned tuna (or any other canned fish), be sure to store it properly in a sealed container. This extends the lifespan of your leftovers and minimises food waste!

2023-04-28 14:03:35 We understand that there is a text message circulating on a possible incoming heatwave between 40 and 50°C for Singapore.
 
It is unlikely for the temperature in Singapore to reach a high of 40°C in the coming weeks.
 
Although we have been experiencing warmer days in recent weeks, the temperatures were not record breaking. The highest temperature ever recorded in Singapore was 37°C on 17 Apr 1983.
 
The inter-monsoon months of Apr and May are normally the warmer period of the year, due to strong solar heating and light and variable wind conditions. Apr 2023 has been generally warm, with daily maximum temperatures exceeding 34°C on most days (17 days as of 27 Apr 2023), and 8 of those days registering temperatures of 35°C or more. The highest daily maximum temperature was 36.1°C at Woodlands on 14 Apr 2023. This is the highest temperature recorded so far this year. 
 
The prevailing inter-monsoon conditions are expected to persist in the coming weeks, and the daily maximum temperature can still be expected to reach 34 or 35°C in the afternoon on most days. On a few days when there is less cloud cover, the daily maximum temperature could reach a high of around 36°C. Open / Comment
