Ihave lived in Singapore all my life and have spent a good chunk of that lamenting the unexciting , humid weather . Why can ’ t it just snow a little ? But the lands near – and on – the equator have their own perks and quirks – be it in regards to weather , biodiversity , life , or culture . And spoiler alert : You can get snow on the equator !
