GEOGRAPHY
The Republic of Singapore lies to the south of the Malay peninsula, to which it is joined by a causeway, 1.2 km long and carrying a road, railway and water pipeline across the Straits of Johor, and a separate link bridge. Situated 1.5 degrees north of the Equator, Singapore occupies a focal position at the turning point of the shortest sea route from the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea. The climate is hot and humid, with no clearly defined seasons although December and January are the wettest months.
