Climate Explained is a collaboration between The Conversation, Stuff and the New Zealand Science Media Centre to answer your questions about climate change. The tropics are expected to experience rising temperatures and changes to rainfall, and the question is whether this could make this region uninhabitable. Singapore is a good place to look at actual climate change in the tropics. The mean average temperature for Singapore is about 27℃, whereas Jakarta in Indonesia is slightly warmer. These impacts will be stronger in the seasonally wet tropics (such as the Northern Territory of Australia), where more extreme warming is expected than in the equatorial zone.
