How does weather affect us positively and negatively?

              Eg. Singapore gets more hotter... what will happen?

                     For Singapore it is bad as there will be Less outdoor activities,  

                     more use of electricity (install more air-cons, fans)
                     &

                     Good for people in a colder country would prefer a  

                     higher temperature.   

                   

• Low Temp = Good or Bad & WHY?

                  In Singapore it is Good as People use lesser electricity, more outdoor    

                  activities such as picnics, kite flying and it may also attract more 

                  tourist to the country.
