First Half of Dec is Going to be Wet & Windy With Temperature Reaching 22°C

If you’re someone who’s a fan of air-conditioned temperature, I’ve got great news for you.

The first two weeks of December is expected to be similar to the entirety of November: Wet and windy.

Here’s what you need to know.

First Half of Dec is Going to be Wet & Windy With Temperature Reaching 22°C

According to the Singapore Meteorological Service (MSS), the winds around Singapore are expected to strengthen and shift to blow from the north or northeast.

Short-duration thundery showers are expected to take place in Singapore in the afternoon on most days.

In other words, if you’re unfortunate enough to not work from home, bring an umbrella out as well.

After all, there’s nothing worse than being wet while working until the evening, right?

On some days, the rainy conditions might extend to the evenings as well.

Occasional windy conditions are also expected during the first two weeks of December, with passing showers on a few days.

However, it seems like the heavy showers we experienced in November might not come to pass.

MSS says that they expect below-average rainfall in most parts of Singapore.

For most of the fortnight, people in Singapore can expect daily temperatures ranging mostly between 24°C and 33°C.

On days with little or no cloud covers, the temperature can reach as high as 34°C.

And on one or two rainy days, expect air-con temperature at 22°C.

If you want to know what that’s like, just think back to 12 Nov 2021 where the temperature reached 22.1°C.

Review of Nov 2021

In a nutshell, November 2021 could be described as wet.

On most days, we’ve experienced short-duration moderate to heavy thundery showers in the afternoons.

The highest daily rainfall recorded for November 2021 is in Sembawang.

On 4 Nov 2021, the area recorded 118.2mm of rainfall.

More Rain Will be Expected in the Next Few Months in S’pore Due to a Natural Climate Phenomenon

La Niña is a natural climate phenomenon that brings wetter weather conditions to Southeast Asia.

And it’s been confirmed that the region is now under La Niña conditions.

This was confirmed by not only the Meteorological Service of Singapore (MSS) but also the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The conditions are expected to persist until “early 2022”, MSS says.

Simply put, get used to carrying around your umbrella in addition to your masks and hand sanitisers.

Also, you might want to make it a habit to check the MSS’s website for weather forecasts.

And, of course, always have wet weather back up plans prepared.
