AIR TEMPERATURE :
Air temperatureis an objective comparative measure of hot or cold air.
At any point near the ground the air temperature is dependent upon the
amount of heat gained or lost at the earths surface and any other surfaces
with which the air has recently been in contact.
It is measured in fahrenheitor celsius or kelvin. Using dry bulb
thermometer.
HUMIDITY :
The relative humidity depends as much on the air temperature as on the
actual amount of water vapour present in the air.
The following situation is likely to arise, if the air is still
at ground

VAPOUR PRESSURE :
Vapour pressure defined as the pressureexerted by avapourin
thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases (solid or liquid) at a
given temperature in a closed system. The equilibriumvapour pressureis
an indication of a liquid's evaporation rate.
PRECIPITATION :
Precipitationis any product of the condensation of atmospheric water
vapour that falls under gravity. The main forms ofprecipitationinclude
drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail.
It is measured using RAIN GUAGE.
SOLAR RADIATION:
Since Singapore is near the equator, the length of its day is
relatively constant throughout the year, and thus so is the
amount of sunshine it receives.
Daily sunshine hours are mainly influenced by the presence
or absence of cloud cover.
February and March have the largest number of sunshine
hours, while November and December have the lowest
RAINFALL:
Rainfall is plentiful in Singapore and it rains an average of 178 days
of the year. Much of the rain is heavy and accompanied by thunder.
The long-term mean annual rainfall total is 2338.5mm.
WIND:
Winds throughout the year show a diurnal variation, with lighter
winds during the night and stronger winds during the day.
The strongest winds occur during the Northeast Monsoon in
January and February.
Winds in Singapore are generally light, with the mean surface
wind speed normally less than 2.5 m/s except during the presence
of a Northeast Monsoon surge when mean speeds of 10m/s or
more have been observed.
VEGETATION:
Singapore has very little crop-suitable land but otherwise
has abundant plant life. Much of the soil in Singapore is clay,
although the origins and processes that formed the clay vary
by area.
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Thunderstorms are also a very regular phenomenon,
occurring on roughly 40% of all days year-round but
particularly common during the Southeast Monsoon.
LOCATION :
Jakarta is located in Indonesia at 6.1745S , 106.822E .
TEMPERATURE :
25C, Wind S at 8 km/h, 78% Humidity.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY :
The average annual relative humidity is 80.6% and average
monthly relative humidity ranges from 75% inSeptemberto 85%
inJanuary.
VAPOUR PRESSURE :
In jakarta the vapour pressure is 16-17 mbar . In the lowlands the
vapour pressure is about 25 mbar at night
