If you haven’t already noticed, the air has been rather chilly these days.
As we stay wrapped up like sushi rolls at home, we might be wondering why humid Singapore has changed its weather ways.
Mr Koh Tien Yong, a weather and climate scientist from the Singapore University of Social Sciences, gave answers on Friday (11 Feb). He mentioned that La Nina has been causing the recent cold surge.

And no, La Nina isn’t the name of a new Netflix drama. It’s a natural climate phenomenon that brings wetter weather in Southeast Asia, and it tends to enhance north-east monsoon winds in Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia in February (yes, this month), which will increase the chance of occurrence and strength of monsoon surge in the region.
With stronger trade winds, La Nina causes more warm water to pool in our water bodies—forming more rain and clouds.
According to Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS), “More thundery showers can be expected in the first fortnight of February 2022, compared to the second fortnight of January 2022.”
The persisting Northeast Monsoon conditions are causing low-level winds to blow from the northwest or northeast.
Most days, the temperature ranges from 24°C to 33°C.

Yearly Affair?
Such an occurrence isn’t particularly novel; Singapore has seen some chilly days in previous years. Remember hitting a low 21.4°C in December of 2019? Maybe you’ve also sung along to “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” when temperatures also dipped to a low of 22°C in 2020.
