The mercury is set to rise, as Singapore transitions into the hotter months of the year - from April to June.

According to an interagency Mercury Task Force, there is a lower chance of a heatwave during this year’s hot season, but above-normal temperatures are still expected. In response to that, authorities have mapped out a national approach to how various sectors should respond to potential heatwave situations.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Steve Yim, Associate Professor at the Asian School of the Environment & Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at NTU, and Principal Investigator at the Earth Observatory of Singapore shares his insights.
