Singapore's longest dry spell has set a new record in making February the driest month since 1869 — a period of 145 years.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) reported that the rainfall total recorded in February 2014 was 0.2mm — breaking the previous record of 6.3 mm in February 2010 — with only seven days of short duration showers between Feb. 7 and 19, mainly in the western parts of Singapore.
