What is the Urban Heat Island effect and when is it most noticeable?
SINGAPORE: With above-average rainfall for most months, it was a very wet 2022 for Singapore, which also saw temperature levels reaching new highs in some categories.
This exceeded the previous high of 389.3mm in 2011, making October 2022 the wettest October in the last four decades.It is not common for the year’s wettest month to fall in October, with the previous occurrence in 1985, the Met Service said.Several tropical cyclones had formed in the South China Sea and western Pacific Ocean, contributing to the formation of these squalls.
Although there has been a gradual increase in the annual total rainfall of Singapore by 78mm per decade from 1980 to 2022, this trend is not considered statistically significant, the Met Service said. The mean temperature for the year 2022 was recorded at Changi climate station at 27.9 degrees Celsius, which is 0.1 degrees Celsius above the long-term average of 27.8 degrees Celsius. The mean temperature for the last decade reached a new high of 28.01 degrees Celsius, which is 0.04 degree Celsius higher than the previous record of 27.97 degrees Celsius for the decade from 2012 to 2021.
