=Project background=

As we progress more into the 21st century we find ourselves faced with the issue of Climate Change and how it affects our daily lives, more so how is Singapore affected by it. By now we’ve had our own share of complaints regarding the unpredictable weather and the warm night, but how much has it really change since the turn of the century? This visualisation project aims to show how rainfall differ in various area in Singapore and how it has changed year on year plotting it against the average temperature under the same time frame. All of these would give us an insight unto the gravity of the effect of Climate Change and is everyone in Singapore experiencing the same phenomenon or is it concentrated to some districts.

=Challenges=

The main challenge for the project is the nature and structure of the data, though all the data required are readily available but it would take some time to get the data if the team would do it manually thus the first problem that needs to be solved by the team is setting up a code that would extract the data from the source website and host it in a server where the final output of the project can access the data at will. Another challenge is to translate the rainfall data into a surface map that would represent the rainfall in the whole of Singapore base on the preliminary collection station.
