Varieties R Us
It’s kind of a running joke with me and Neil — whenever anyone asks about the weather in Singapore, we repeat the forecast you hear practically every day:
“Cloudy, with showers in the late morning and early afternoon. Temperature will range between 25 and 32 degrees Celsius. Humidity will be 96 - 99%.”
(Well, he just says it never changes while I bore all with my delight at citing the weather forecast.)
Scots envy the constant warmth and complete lack of variation in the climate. We are one degree above the Equator, after all. The sun rises at about seven and sets at about seven. No Daylight Savings, no midnight sun.
Boring!
Scotland’s climate is so much more interesting (despite Shauna’s faithful reporting of dullness and dampness), especially if you go with the weather reports. Just look at the adjectives used!
- Feeling raw (RAWR! Okay, the RAWR is me)
- Gale force winds
- Sharp frost
- Freezing fog
And that’s just the few I remember from this winter. Singapore’s weather people don’t even bother, it’s hot and humid all year round.

I recall that at some times of the year it would bucket down at 3:30pm precisely, for exactly one hour. If you got caught in this downpour with your umbrella, the ferocity of the downpour would be so much that all that remained dry was the very top of your head.
Happy days…
Hope you are enjoying the popiah, watermelon juice, chili stingray and other delights….oh, and of course the family holiday!
