In recent times, increasing economic losses due to unexpected extreme environmental conditions have
been noticed. The occurrence of these extreme environmental events requires us to have a clearer understanding
of climatic influence on our lives. This paper utilizes the case of Singapore to investigate the influence
of climate extremes on a country. The environmental elements of Singapore whose extremes are most
likely to change in the future are identified. The impacts of these extremes on an entire nation’s economy and
public health are discussed. Additionally, climate-induced statistical uncertainties in the modeling of extreme
values are investigated. Based on the available knowledge of climate uncertainty information, the change of
statistical structure in the extreme value model is discussed. The impact of various types of climate uncertainty
in the extreme value modeling for a physical environmental variable is summarized at the end of this paper.
