For the last five years we have recorded temperatures that are showing alarming increases year-on-year.

The average temperature for January 2012 was 26.83^oC :-

the second warmest January on record, since October 2006;
over three-quarters of a degree C warmer than December 2011 ;
with the highest temperature reached of 35.4^oC.
On average, the relative humidity for the month of December was 86%.

Extending the trend line on the graph of monthly temperatures, it shows the trend still continues upwards over the coming year. With Malaysia's high humidity levels, living in the tropics without consuming huge amounts of electricity on air conditioning will be very uncomfortable.
