Rainy Season Is Here Again!

September 26, 2007

Yup, it looks like it is the raining season again down here in Singapore. It rained the entire day on Monday and Wednesday. And today, which is Thursday, it looks gloomy and it has already started drizzling. It’s going to be yet another wet day I gather. It seemed to me that the rainy season came earlier this year, usually it is from November to December or January but this year, it started in September. Oh well, we just have to make full use of it. And the weather in our region is always so unpredictable. So, the next week we could get hot weather again. But the overall weather pattern should be rainy, I suppose.

One thing great about raining in Singapore, you won’t get the oppressive heat! Although you need umbrellas or raincoats, you won’t be sweating like a pig everytime you leave an air-conditioned place. Singapore is always so hot and stuffy, a little rain would help a lot. It’s just too bad that instead of rain, we get gales. And it’s so strong that umbrellas are useless. You seen rain moving towards you horizontally before? Yes, that’s what we get sometimes. The shelthers we have in Singapore are not enough even block the rain! And we get flash floods in the low lying areas. The worse effected are those shop-houses built a while back which offers no protection against such flash floods.

For me, I think it’s time we celebrate the cooler weather by staying indoors where it is more cozy. Why leave the house and get wet when you can stay at home and chat on the Internet, right? Or you can just surf the web like I do. Almost everyday. You should also think again on the plans to go to the beach at the weekends. I would suggest you to cancel it and try for somewhere indoors. The best thing for Singaporeans is to go shopping in the shopping malls, that’s what Singapore is famous for anyway right? Just don’t forget to bring your umbrellas or raincoats. You won’t want to be caught in the rain, you will bound to get sick.
