Singapore¡¯s already steamy heat revisited a 40-year record on Saturday, climbing to 37 Celsius (98.6F).
The temperature at Ang Mo Kio in central Singapore tied with a record in nearby Tengah in April 1983, according to a statement by the National Environment Agency on Facebook. Singapore began recording temperatures in 1929.
Saturday¡¯s temperature also surpassed the previous May high of 36.7C recorded last year, the agency said. It expects the warm and dry conditions to continue on Sunday, but forecasts short-duration showers later this week.
