With the recent rainy days, many people have taken the chance to sleep in and bask in the cool wind.

You can expect even more rainy weather for the rest of the month, with temperatures going as low as 23°C. Perfect weather for sleeping.

Expect to Bask in the Cool Wind and Rain in April

In the next two weeks, we’re forecasted to experience light wind that’ll occasionally blow from the southwest or west.

The meeting of winds from the southwest and west may lead to the development of Sumatra squalls over the Strait of Malacca. When they move east toward the South China Sea, they may bring widespread thundery showers and gusty winds over Singapore.

Expect to laze in bed a lot more during the pre-dawn hours and mornings, when the rain lulls you back to sleep.

Short-duration moderate to heavy thundery showers with frequent lightning is also expected in the afternoons. On some days, these showers may be intense and extend into the early evenings.

Despite the forecasted rain, the rainfall for April 2022 is still expected to be below average for most areas of Singapore.

However, warm weather can still be expected when it isn’t raining. The maximum temperature is estimated to be around 34°C on most days.

If it’s raining, the minimum temperature can drop to 23°C.

The Sumatra squalls also brought strong winds to the coastal areas of western Singapore in the early mornings on a few days. Pasir Panjang experienced the strongest wind gust of 67km/h on 9 April.

There were also five days when the daily maximum temperature went past 34°C. The highest temperatures recorded were 36.8°C at Admiralty and 35.4°C at Ang Mo Kio.
