It’s Going to be Super Rainy in the First Half of Jan 18

Had enough of the torrential rain during the last few days of December?

Sick and tired of strolling out in clear, sunny weather, only to take shelter under some dude’s underbelly the very next second?

If you fulfill the aforementioned criteria, I have bad news for you:

For the first half of January is going to be rainy.

Pretty rainy, actually.

Weather Forecast

According to Singapore’s Meteorological Service, weather.gov.sg, rainy weather is expected to continue in the first two weeks of January.

During the two weeks, moderate to heavy thundery showers can be expected on six to eight days in the afternoon. On particular days, the showers and thunder could extend into the early evening.

Additionally, a monsoon surge could develop in the second week, thereby bringing a few days of cooler temperatures, windy conditions and heavy rain to Singapore.

Rainfall for the first half is also expected to be “above normal”.

Daily temperatures could range between 31°C and 33°C in the day, and from 23°C to 24°C at night.

Above normal rainfall

Just last month (Dec 2017), around half of Singapore received above normal rainfall. The highest rainfall of 502.4mm (65% above average) was recorded around the Seletar area.

On the other hand, Bukit Panjang received the lowest rainfall, with roughly 211.6mm (28% below average) recorded.

Incidentally, the highest total daily rainfall recorded in December 2017 was 149.6mm around the Buona Vista area on 31 December.

To sum it up

It’s gonna be wet during the first two weeks of January. Very wet. 

So bring your umbrellas, ponchos or even gortex jackets if you’re heading out in the day!

Don’t say we never warn ah! 🙂
