SINGAPORE – The rainy days and cold nights of the last few days are coming to an end.
For the second half of this month, there will be less rain with some warm days, compared to the first half of September, the meteorologist said on Wednesday (September 16).
The daily temperature is expected to range between 25 degrees C and 33 degrees C most days and can peak at around 34 degrees C in just a few days, according to the weather service.
Some nights can also be relatively warm, with temperatures hovering around 28 ° C, especially when prevailing winds from the southeast blow warm, moist air from the sea towards land.
As the monsoon rain band is forecast to continue in the equatorial region of Southeast Asia, short-lived moderate to heavy thunderstorms are expected over parts of the island between late morning and late afternoon on most days.
These showers can last into the evening in a day or two.
The passage of the Sumatra storms, an organized line of storms originating over the island of Sumatra or the Straits of Malacca, can bring widespread torrential rains with occasional gusty winds in the morning for a few days.
The meteorologist said that while rainfall in the next fortnight is expected to be lower than in the first two weeks of the month, overall September rainfall is expected to be higher than average over most of the island.
Stormy rains fell between late morning and late afternoon most days for the past fortnight, and lasted into the night on some days.
The rains were heaviest Thursday morning. Total daily rainfall recorded that day was 129.6mm at Tuas Sur, which is also the highest rainfall reading recorded in the past two weeks.
Cooler conditions also meant that mercury fell to 21.8 degrees C in Paya Lebar on Tuesday, the lowest daily minimum temperature so far this month.
