SINGAPORE

C13

Ordinarily, temperatures range from 75°F. in the early morning to 86°F. -88°F. during the heat of the day. Temperatures below 70°F are rare and above 90°F. comparatively infrequent.

Severe storms are experienced in Singapore known as "Sumatras"; these are violent squalls which occur usually during the night or in the early morning approaching from W. or S.W.; they are usually accompanied by thunder and lightning and torrential rain. Local thunderstorms occur frequently at midday or during the afternoon and though accompanied by very heavy rain do not usually last for more than an hour.

The S. W. monsoon does not affect Singapore, Land and

Singapore. Land and sea breezes are prominent although from November to March, the winds are predominantly Northerly or Northeasterly and from June to August predominantly South or Southeasterly.

Although the days are hot and on account of the high humidity somewhat oppressive, the nights are almost always reasonably cool, and it rarely hap- pens that refreshing sleep is not obtained. The effect of the heat and humidity, without seasonal change, is however cumulative, and after a few years a change to a bracing climate becomes imperative for Europeans if health is to be maintained.
