Does rain remind you of this poem: Rain,rain,go away, come again another day, little children,little children, little children want to play
I know this poem is very,very childish,but this poem actually reflects the current situation about the weather,in the opposite way.What I feel about this is that the poem is more of a feeling that the writer wants to put across.He wants to voice out that the weather is bad as it rains every single day,which I REALLY,REALLY WANT IT TO.I would rather have rain for days and days instead of sunshine for a whole month continuously,which today has broken the record of 25 days non-stop not raining.
Reports show that the monthly rainfall level for the month of February is 68mm(excluding today),which is a new low set for the lowest rainfall in a month(other than one other month in the last 14 years,which I totally forgot).This is terrible,as there have also been reports of 'forest fires' in Singapore itself!Grass patches are not watered cue to the government wanting to save water,which cause them to not water grasses,making them turn brown,rot,and get fire,which causes the firefighters to use water to put them out.SO ISN'T WATERING THEM SAME AS ELIMINATING FIRE?
Also,the government has stepped up measures to let Singaporeans save water during this crucial moment.Everyone has to drink lots of water,recommended by the health ministry,due to the heatwave,but this also wastes water too.Therefore,installing thimbles in taps,spending less time in the shower might help out a little so you drink more water but pay the same price as other months.
Oh,I forgot to tell you what this heatwave thing is all about.For those people with blank minds,let me tell you more about this phenomenon,which can be named El Niño,or 'little boy' in Spanish.This phenomenon is mainly the southern oscillation of the wind,which causes unexpected freak weather in the Pacific.
The first signs of an El Niño are:
Rise in surface pressure over the Indian Ocean, Indonesia, and Australia
Fall in air pressure over Tahiti and the rest of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean
Trade winds in the south Pacific weaken or head east
Warm air rises near Peru, causing rain in the northern Peruvian deserts
Warm water spreads from the west Pacific and the Indian Ocean to the east Pacific. It takes the rain with it, causing extensive drought in the western Pacific and rainfall in the normally dry eastern Pacific.
As the water warms,less water is evaporated and there is lesser rain,so too bad,don't scold me if you must,blame little boys the next time.Till then. Signing off, chocolocoroco the sweet things in life
