Quickie update on dengue in Singapore

After a slow start to the year, the dengue numbers have really taken off this year.


The most current information available on the status of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation suggests it is higher (warmer) than last year, which should facilitate an increase in dengue cases over last year.

Keep swatting!
