Singapore is located close to the equator and generally has a tropical climate with abundant rainfall, high temperatures, and high humidity throughout the year. However, inter-monsoon seasons are characterized by thunderstorms, which can be severe in the afternoon and early evening, prevalent with hot afternoons.
This was also the case for Hydrobiology Singapore, where they had to weather through heavy downpours, scorching sun and rough sea waves during their fieldwork. For their diligence, they were rewarded with breath-taking sunrises and sunsets, tranquil islands free of crowds, and on a special occasion, the beautiful sight of a rainbow.
