What’s extremely fluctuating, moody, and unpredictable?
Singapore’s weather, of course.
During the first half of July, rainy weather had plagued the nation, creating mini waterfalls and inconveniencing many who had to splash around.
All that changed in the rather sunny second half of July, with temperatures reaching up to 35°C, that left us all begging for cooler weather before we melt into a puddle.
Well, it looks like our wishes have been granted, for it’s about to get wet. Again.
More Rain In First Half Of August
Here’s some not-so-good news to all of you who’ve made plans to go out and exercise while we’re unable to enjoy most other leisure activities in the Heightened Alert period.
According to weather forecast reports by our very own National Environmental Agency (NEA), Singapore will see way more rain this first half of August.
It’s the monsoon season – and Southwest Monsoon conditions will stay over Singapore and nearby regions for the rest of the period with low-level southwest or southeast winds blowing over.
So for the first half of August, there will be more thundery showers visiting us.
In the late morning and afternoon of most days, short thundery showers are expected over certain parts of Singapore – so beware while you’re off to buy lunch.
Some days could see longer thundery showers as certain land areas will undergo strong land heating and winds converging over and around the island.
Just as we’re starting some of the days, from before the dawn to early hours of the morning, there may also be widespread heavy thunderstorms incoming because of a passing Sumatra squall.
That’s extremely good news for people who get to sleep in and wake up to the cool rain.
August’s rainfall will also most likely be above average for most parts of Singapore, just like it was for the month of July.
Daily Temperatures,
Unfortunately, more rainfall doesn’t necessarily amount to a cooler first half of August, like many of us wish for everyday.
Most days will be as warm as 33°C and be as cool as 24°C.
Some days may even reach temperature highs of 34°C. Yikes.
At night, it’s expected to still be warm and humid, due to southwest winds blowing warm air from the sea towards land.
Minimum temperatures of 28°C are thus predicted for the East and South parts of Singapore.
Sunny, But Rainy, July
Yep, that sums up Singapore’s weather most of the time.
Rainfall for most parts of Singapore in July were above average, with there being a 108% rainfall anomaly at Tai Seng as the highest recorded one for the month.
Similarly, temperatures were up with 14 days recording a maximum temperature of 34°C – and even hitting 35.2°C as the highest for the month at Marina Barrage.
