hot & bothered

The weather is wayyyyyy too hot these days. At least it's somewhat windy today, ignore the heat & pretend you're in LA or something. On bad days, you might start off the day with glorious clear skies & bask in the blazing sun, next get caught in a sudden thunderstorm, and then spend rest of the day in a extremely warm & humid atmosphere - the air will stay absolutely still and you'd feel as if water droplets are literally hanging in the air.

No lovely mild springtime weather for us who teeter about along the geographical line around the tropics. If you like consistency - this is the place to be!

I'm just wondering if there's any technology which can convert heat energy into electricity efficiently. If it's possible, Singapore will surely be able to produce sufficient electricity to meet domestic demand. That immense energy reserve will be used to power all our central air-conditioning systems, which will then generate more heat in return in the external atmosphere, thereby creating even more electricity. This is simply marvelous. Hasn't anyone thought of that yet???

P.S. I have to say that I love this weather forecast site because it shows you the truth. Its 34degrees, yes yes we all know that already. But it "feels like 39degrees". Now, that's the truth.
