Sorry to disappoint all you rain-lovers out there, but March has been forecast to be a whole lot wetter than February.
So, perhaps you should consider cancelling your outdoor plans. Unless you want to get wet, ditch the bathing suits and picnic mats and grab some umbrellas instead.
It’s Better to Have An Umbrella On Hand
Following the dry spell in February, the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) has forecast showers to return to sunny Singapore.
However, before you get too excited, it’s not time for sweater weather just yet.
Amidst the rain, temperatures are still expected to be between 24°C and 33°C, with the daily maximum temperature being able to reach up to 34°C on certain days.
I don’t know about you but I guess I’m stashing my jackets back into my closet.
For the first week of March, expect stable weather with occasional windy conditions as a band of dry air forms over the equatorial Southeast Asia region.
Then where’s the rain, you ask?
Well, in the second week of March, as the rain band migrates closer to the equator, sporadic thundery showers are expected in certain parts of the island.
Strong convergent winds, coupled with heating up of the land area, might also result in heavy thunderstorms on certain days.
Basically, if you see a grey sky, don’t be lazy and just bring an umbrella out. Better to be safe than sorry, after all.
February’s Dry Spell
If you’re like me, you simply wouldn’t have noticed the lack of rain in the past month. Work, deadlines, visiting—it almost makes the weather seem secondary.
With generally fair and windy weather through the month, short thundery showers were observed over a few parts of Singapore. So you know, nothing seems out of the ordinary.
But it turns out that last February’s dry weather was one for the history books.
In fact, the award for second lowest monthly rainfall in February goes to February 2021, with a monthly rainfall total of 1.0mm.
Ever since rainfall records started being noted in 1869, last month’s rainfall came in at second-last place, losing out only to February 2014’s rainfall total of 0.2mm.
Just for comparison, Singapore’s highest total monthly rainfall comes in at 818.6mm in January 1893.
That’s over 800 times the amount of rainfall we got last February.
