According to the Weatherman, It’s Still Going to Rain Every Day This Week

Before the circuit breaker, Singaporeans celebrated rainy days because it provided a respite from the heat and gave us an excuse to take extra naps and not exercise.

Now that the country is in Phase 2 of its safe reopening, however, tell a Singaporean that it’s going to rain and they’ll look at you like you just slaughtered a puppy in front of them.

But… what about my picnic at the beach?

What about my dinner at that rooftop bar?

How will I live my life without being able to exercise every single day?

After being stuck in the prison that is their house for over two months, residents are desperate to go out and eat some Chendol at the coffee shop and hang out with friends while the glorious Singapore sun shines on their faces.

While you can still eat your Chendol, you might have to cancel outdoor plans you have this week.

According to the Weatherman, It’s Still Going to Rain Every Day This Week

Singapore has been rather cool lately.

The country has been experiencing more rainfall in June than tears in my adolescence, which is saying a lot.

If you’re a fan of wet weather, you can look forward to more rainy days in June, as it’s predicted to rain every day this week.

Yes, all those plans you had for Phase 2 – picnics, outdoor sports, and exercise – might have to be put on hold.

According to the Meteorological Service Singapore,  thundery showers are expected on most days in the latter half of June.

The good news is that temperatures will dip, ranging between 25 °C and 33 °C.

Still, the rainfall for this month is expected to be above average over most parts of Singapore.

While residents congregated at Holland Village on the first day of Phase 2 like it was a new iPhone launch outside an Apple store, few were seen outdoors on Saturday, with heavy rains spoiling everyone’s plans.

This is just a forecast, though. So maybe the weatherman is wrong and you’ll be able to go to the beach after all.

But even if it does rain, there are many other things you can do this week.

Indoor Sports Facilities

In addition to the reopening of beaches and playgrounds, most indoor sports and recreational facilities will also resume their operations.

This includes swimming pools, stadiums, fitness studios, gyms, indoor sports halls, outdoor courts, bowling centres and golf courses.

Sure, you won’t be able to golf or swim under the pouring rain, but you could bowl or work out.

Just make sure you’re really working out.

You could also have a meal with your friends at hawker centres and restaurants, something you were dying to do for the last few months.

Or you can fully commit to the sedentary life, invite some friends over, and play some video games or watch a movie.

Social gatherings are limited to groups of five, of course.

Don’t let the rain… uh, rain on your parade.
