The daily average temperature in tropical Singapore is likely to range between 29.3C and 32.9C (84.7-91.2F) by 2100, according to new models of the effects of climate change from the government’s Centre for Climate Research Singapore.
In its medium- to worst-case scenarios, which assume continued use of fossil fuels, the report predicts increases of 1.4C to 5C from the current averages, with daily maximums of 32.8 to 36.7C. In either case, extreme rainfall and dry spells will become more common and more severe, and sea levels will rise significantly.
