Warning: Start bracing for hot weather

**Blue Whale** · 17th Apr 2012, 19:57

Based on last year weather data, we are almost entering the hot spell within 2 weeks time. Click on the below link for past and present data. Should you query future dates, it will show you no data.

Weather Forecast

This is also the month where most of the tap water parameters starts to swing due to evaporation, hence urging everyone to be on their guard.

The above data is applicable to Singapore only. For other countries, please search within the site itself.

If that being true, then... sigh... it's unlikely that my killifishes and Corydoras will give me any viable eggs (unless I recommission my old chillers hiding in the storeroom).

Folks keeping shrimps, who are not using chillers, will likely be challenged to keeping their CRS looking alive!!

Good for discus and pleco keepers! Heater will be on less often... save some money. But hope my cories can survive... now around 27-28 using fan.

picking up more fire heads from thailand, elsewhere, laos, myanmar worst fire, cambodia, vietnam some hot spots. We lucky to have rain. Seems like hot weather is closing in already. You won't be looking at just 30C it would be much higher.

Thanks for the warning bro. I now need to plan when the water change. Typically I change it during the evenings. I guess my strategy for water change needs to be adjusted to the morning time to prevent shock temp treatment to the Eco system.

Haze touchdown. Visibility 500m. Sightings: Woodlands. After 6am or first light.

**Blue Whale** · 19th Apr 2012, 08:45

Tampines, no sightings at 8am. Overall humidity at 84%, showers expected around 11-12pm or so islandwide. Current windspeed at 8km/hr. Still consider lucky day. Roadside trees and plants ain't doing very good, some are dying...
