The Southwest Monsoon seems to have extended its staycation over Singapore and our neighbouring regions. For the next fortnight, it’s set to bring winds that can’t decide between southeast and southwest, much like our daily dilemma of choosing kopi or teh (or me?).
So brace yourselves, foodies. Those quick, thundery showers might interrupt your hawker centre visits, especially during lunch hours in early August. Some days might even feel like Mother Nature’s own version of Songkran, with intense, widespread showers. But for those who love the sun, there’s good news. A few days promise to be sunny and bright, perfect for outdoor activities.
However, the first half of August might be slightly stingier with rain than usual.

And there’s one day that we’re certain it won’t rain: 9 August 2023. IYKYK.
First Half of August 2023 Will Be Hot With 35°C on a Few Days
Feeling the tropical heat? Daily temperatures are gearing up to sizzle around 34°C. And for those who love the extra warmth, some days might even touch a toasty 35°C. But don’t expect the nights to be much cooler.
Coastal areas, in particular, might experience warm and sticky nights with temperatures hovering around 29°C.
A Quick Throwback to July’s Weather
Most days in July were punctuated by thundery showers, especially around lunchtime. But 20 July 2023 stood out with a massive downpour, making Tuas the rainiest spot of the month. It recorded a whopping 124 mm of rainfall, the highest for July.
The month wasn’t just about rain, though. Temperatures soared on several days, with Choa Chu Kang and Clementi experiencing a scorching 35.4°C on 5 July 2023.
And those balmy nights? They made for perfect late-night outings, especially during the last week of July. Admiralty even had a cool surprise on 20 July 2023, with temperatures dipping to a pleasant 21.8°C during island-wide showers.
In terms of rainfall, July had its favourites. Kent Ridge enjoyed a deluge with 149% more rain than usual, while Sembawang felt a bit parched with 37% less rain.
