SMU Associate Professor of Science, Technology and Society Winston Chow said, "The sort of issues that Singapore will be facing won't be things like wildfires, but instead, it would just be a gradual increase of warmer temperatures." He added, "We might see temperatures in excess of 36 degrees Celsius at some point, but sooner rather than later. The likelihood of heat stress, heat injuries and mortality will increase because of the increase in the exposure to a warmer climate.”
