If you’re considering starting the new year with outdoor picnics, cycling, or outdoor activities, you might want to plan your schedule more carefully according to Singapore’s unpredictable weather.
In Singapore, people should expect moderate to heavy thundery showers on most days over the next two weeks, as the wet weather is likely to persist into the first half of 2024, according to the National Environment Agency (NEA).
Some of these showers may even extend into the night.
So, if you have outdoor plans, it’s advisable to prepare for potential rain showers during this period.
Rain is Expected Over the Next Two Weeks
The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) has indicated that the rainy weather is expected to persist throughout the initial two weeks of 2024.
During this period, moderate to heavy thundery showers are anticipated over various parts of Singapore during most afternoons, with some instances where these showers may extend into the night.
It will be nice weather for sleeping, if you work from home.
Furthermore, MSS has forecasted above-average total rainfall for the first half of January 2024 across most regions of Singapore. This anticipated rainfall promises a cooler conclusion to the month.
Throughout this timeframe, daily temperatures are projected to range between 24 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees Celsius on most days.
While it may not be cold enough for sweater weather, it certainly offers relief from the consistent heat that Singapore often experiences during certain periods of the year.
Despite the expectation of thundery showers on most days, there may still be a few days when the daily maximum temperature reaches around 34 degrees Celsius.
Wet Weather in the Second Half of December 2023
In the second half of December 2023, Singapore also reported significant wet weather, which can be attributed to the prevailing Northeast Monsoon conditions in Singapore and its surrounding areas throughout the latter half of December 2023, with low-level winds predominantly originating from the northwest or northeast.
During this period, the monsoon rain band consistently lingered over the equatorial Southeast Asian region, resulting in wet weather conditions over Singapore.
Thundery showers became a regular afternoon across various parts of the island throughout the second half of December 2023, with some showers extending into the night.
The last fortnight of 2023 witnessed above-average rainfall in most areas of the island, as the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) reported.
Admiralty, in particular, experienced rainfall levels 73% higher than the usual averages.
On Christmas Day, moderate to heavy thundery showers graced many parts of Singapore during the afternoon. Admiralty recorded a daily total rainfall of 134.0 mm on that day, marking the highest recorded rainfall for the month of December.
Throughout the second half of December 2023, daily maximum temperatures consistently ranged between 33 and 34 degrees Celsius on most days.
The highest daily maximum temperature of 34.4 degrees Celsius was documented at Clementi on 15 December 2023.
