Bush fires in Singapore?
Never would i have expected this to happen in Singapore....very 1st time in my 24 years of existence that I come to know that we have natural disasters too. But bush fires??? Isnt that supposed to happen in countries with dry weather like Down under?Amazing...and I used to boast that Singapore is one of the safest country in the world, from natural disasters.
Excerpt from Straits Times today:
"The Singapore Civil Defence Force has had to deal with 254 bush fires in the first 15 days of this month, or 17 a day on average.
Since the start of the year, 358 bush fires have been recorded, more than six times the same period last year.
The spike is largely caused by the lack of cloud cover.
Last fortnight was the hottest first two weeks of February in the last five years, with an average daily temperature of 28.2 deg C, said the National Environment Agency."
