- What are the reasons for Singapore's high temperatures
- The influence of latitude on temperature
- The higher the angle of the sun's rays, the greater is the heating of the earths surface.
- Latitude also has an influence on the length of daylight.
- The earth rotates on it's axis once every 24 hours
- The result is that , although there is always 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness at the equator, all other latitudes have varying lengths.
- The influence of clouds on temperature
- PLaces near the equator are hot, but- because of the influence of clouds.
- During the day, clouds reduce surface temprture.
- About 50 % of solar radiation actually gets through to be absorbed by the Earths surface.
- The air near the Earths surface is keep t warmer, because short-wave solar radiation can pass through.
- Reasons for Singapore's high rainfall
- The combination of high tempretures and air with moisture content results in CONVECTIONAL RAINFALL
- Convectional rainfall
