The weather department (or whatever fancy name they call themselves these days) should just pack up and go. We might as well use our tax dollars elsewhere, for the weather is beyond predicting, beyond climatic patterns these days. Under a striking blue sky last Sunday the following caption was captured crawling on a television news ticker, “Storm lashes Singapore ahead of inaugural Grand Prix”. And where was this phantom storm, may we ask? Monday, initially slated for fair weather, rained like hell, but it was no storm. The storm is still at large.
