The recent drop in temperatures may be a welcome respite for Singaporeans, but by the end of the century, Singapore could see daily maximum temperatures above 35°C for as many as 351 days per year. This is up from 21.4 days per year on average in the past 40 years.

Nights could also be warmer, with temperatures above 26.3°C. From an average of 76 nights per year in the past four decades, Singapore could experience these “most nights in the year” by 2100, according to findings from Singapore’s Third National Climate Change Study, also known as V3.

Conducted by the Centre for Climate Research Singapore (CCRS) under the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS), the findings are consistent with that of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report (AR6).
