    The best tool for the weather in Singapore is a solid umbrella. Heavy Rain? Umbrella Harsh Sun? Umbrella For everything else: Aircon 😁

    Gov has released tons of mosquitoes that have been generically altered which stops them from breeding. Im living in the Central Area and I’ve not had a single mosquito bite for more than 10 years. It’s strange cause I remember having occasional bites during my childhood. Do you live near a park or ground floor, that might be a cause but also your neighbour could be breeding mosquitoes 😂

    Jen. try to close your windows and doors after 6.30pm to avoid mosquitoes flying in when it is getting dark. 😉 blessed living here under one roof.

    Singapore is at the equator...it's naturally hot and warm. Though there will be a heavy downpour and shower always in the afternoon for an hour, the good thing is that u will get fresh air and cooler temperature after that! US summer cam be super hot tool. It's 42.degrees...even in LA Those countries in South East Asia..in general are warm and hot. So..not only Singapore....Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia ar hot too. ..hehe....

    As a Singaporean, born and bred here, there are only 2 things i dislike and can never ever get over with it: Weather and a boring country. Everything else is good.

    @@limbehh8494 its amusing you assume i have not done that. I am a regular cyclist, been doing RI for decades. And been to the nature parks every week. I mean what else can you do? in fact when you do it regularly, it becomes boring. and I thought you would suggest me something less mainstream.

    she is entitle to her opinion, i am a singaporean and i love the island. Maybe it's just not for everyone but we should not critisize people just because they make a bad reveiw, we are bigger than that, do not show that we are a petty type.

    Singapore, being its geographical location, can't decide or control the weather. But at the same time, you are free from natural disasters like tornadoes, typhoons, earthquakes, avalanches, or volcano eruptions. You can't have the best of both worlds, just like our fingers that come in different lengths

    You stay in the HDB estate is better. HDB no mosquito bites. These landed places look stylish but there are so many insects.
