It’s not unusual to have 10 days without much rain, but you can’t count on the monsoons to be uniformly wet, or the non-monsoon months to be particularly dry.

Either way, there’s no escape from the masses of warm damp air, so the best thing is to think of it as a moisturizing sweat bath. Too bad the trees can’t think of it that way, but it’s not as dry as California, no matter how you slice it.

I just happened to hit your blog while I was searching for the information of drought in SIngapore because I wanted to know how this spell of extreme dry condition affects the nature and any consequence. I felt pain a bit these days whenever I see many tall or short trees start withering and craving for the rain! I thought now it is a monsoon season here in Feb, not a dry season. So this dry days also occurred around this time last year.
I just came back to Singapore from my two week staying in Tokyo(I am Japanese) and it was a constant reminder I really live right under the equator once I stepped out of the plain and felt warm hot mass of air suppressing my entire body inside out.
Hope it will rain today, or tomorrow, or this weekend!
