既然有緣到此一訪,
何妨放鬆一下妳(你)的心緒,
歇一歇妳(你)的腳步,
讓我陪妳(你)喝一杯香醇的咖啡吧!

這裡是一個完全開放的交心空間,
躺在綠意漾然的草原上,望著晴空的藍天,
白雲和微風嬉鬧著,無拘無束的赤著腳,
可以輕輕鬆鬆的道出心中情。

天馬行空的釋放著胸懷,緊緊擁抱著彼此的情緒。
共同分享著彼此悲歡離合的酸甜苦辣。
互相激勵,互相撫慰,互相提攜,
一齊向前邁進。

也因為有妳(你)的來訪,我們認識了。
請讓我能擁有機會回拜於妳(你)空間的機會。
謝謝妳(你)!

  • Cities around the world are becoming hotter and drier due to climate change.
  • This is putting many on track to experience climate conditions by 2050 unlike anything seen before in cities, according to a new study.
  • Extreme heat coupled with less rain will be the new norm for many cities in South East Asia.
  • Manila in the Philippines will be almost 4°C hotter and Rangoon in Myanmar is expected to be almost 6°C hotter.
  • Rain levels could decrease by more than a tenth in Hiroshima, Taipei and Macau.

Due to climate change, cities around the world are getting hotter and drier – now a new study claims that an array of cities will experience climate conditions never before seen in any major city by 2050. This list includes Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Rangoon, Manila and Singapore.

The researchers from the Department of Environmental Systems Science in Zurich, Switzerland, calculated that completely novel conditions will be the case for 22 percent out of the world’s 500 major cities. For many cities in South East Asia, brutal heat coupled with less rain will be the new norm, while other cities may also encounter novel conditions because of significantly increased rain levels.

Manila, for example, will be almost 4°C hotter on average during summer, but also experience 8 percent less rain during an average year. In Rangoon in Myanmar, summer temperatures will be close to 6°C hotter while the city will lose 6.5 percent of its yearly precipitation, making it one of the cities rated to grossly diverge from known city climates in the future.

Other cities will come to resemble cities elsewhere more closely. Extreme dry spells could haunt Hiroshima, Taipei and Macau in the future, with rain levels decreasing by up to 13 percent. Central Asian cities will not experience major shifts in rain patterns, but major temperature increases of 6°C and more. Because of this, Tashkent could feel more like Middle Eastern cities Mosul or Irbil, while Baghdad is expected to feel like Kuwait City by 2050. Kathmandu will be wetter (as well as hotter) and therefore feel more like Dhaka, Bangladesh.
