Problem & Motivation

Meteorological Service Singapore's website, weather.gov.sg, has a lot of data but the website does not make use of the huge volume of it properly in a sense that the viewers do not understand the visualisations at the first sight. The data can be better utilised if the visualisation techniques were to be improved. We, the Climate Wizards, aim to improve the visualisations on the website so that Singapore's historical weather data can be viewed at higher ease for those who might be concerned with it.
