Wetter weather expected in second half of December

SINGAPORE: Wet weather is expected to continue in the second half of December, said the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) in an advisory on Friday (Dec 16).
While the second half of December is expected to be wetter than the first fortnight of December 2016, overall, the rainfall for the month is forecast to be below normal, said MSS.
Short-duration thunderstorms, at times heavy, can be expected on seven to nine days, mostly between the late morning and afternoon, said MSS. On one to two days, thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds are expected between the predawn and morning, brought about by Sumatra squalls over the Strait of Malacca.
Daily maximum temperatures for the next fortnight on most days are forecast to be around 32°C or 33°C. One a few days, the daily maximum temperatures could reach a high of 34°C. On some rainy days, the daily minimum temperature could range between 22°C and 24°C.
“A FEW WARM DAYS”
The first two weeks of December had “a few warm days”, said MSS, where the daily maximum temperature was between 34°C and 35°C.
The mean daily maximum temperature recorded in the first half of December 2016 was 31.8°C, which is 1.6°C above the long-term mean for December. In addition, the mean monthly temperature recorded was 27.8°C, which is 1.4°C warmer than the long-term mean for December.
Most thunderstorms over the island from Dec 1 to 15 happened between midnight and 6am, said MSS. The heaviest daily rainfall of 45.4mm was recorded on Dec 1 around Tuas. Rainfall was also significantly below normal, said MSS, with the highest rainfall recorded around Changi and 18 per cent below average. Rainfall was lowest around Jurong where 25.2mm was recorded, 81 per cent below average.

Sales of new private homes down 31.4% in November
Posted 15 Dec 2016 12:50 Updated 15 Dec 2016 22:46
SINGAPORE: Private property developers saw lacklustre sales in November, with the number of new units sold falling 31.4 per cent from the previous month, figures released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Thursday (Dec 15) showed.
Excluding executive condominiums (ECs), 860 new private homes were sold last month, down from the 1,253 units sold in October. Including ECs, 1,110 units were sold, down from October’s 1,542 units.
Property developers launched a total of 1,363 units in November, fewer than the 1,467 units put up for sale the previous month. The bulk of the units were from the Queen’s Peak development in Queenstown, which launched 736 units and sold 271, and the Parc Riviera project in West Coast, which launched 200 units and sold 128.

Singapore exports halt slump, up 11.5% in November
Singapore exports halt slump, up 11.5% in November
Posted 16 Dec 2016 08:30 Updated 16 Dec 2016 22:43
SINGAPORE: Exports in Singapore rebounded in November, growing 11.5 per cent to reverse the 12 per cent drop in the previous month, according to figures released by International Enterprise (IE) Singapore on Friday (Dec 16).
Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) got a boost due to the increase in both electronic and non-electronic exports, the trade agency said.
Electronic shipments grew by 3.5 per cent in November, following a 6 per cent decline in the previous month. The increase was largely due to growth in integrated circuits at 10.6 per cent, parts of PC at 30.5 per cent and disk media products at 9.7 per cent.
Non-electronic exports saw a bigger improvement last month, expanding by 15.3 per cent in contrast to the 14.6 per cent decline in October. The increase was led by pharmaceuticals (+44.8 per cent), specialised machinery (+64.7 per cent) and petrochemicals (+13.9 per cent), IE Singapore said.
Overall, shipments to the majority of Singapore’s top 10 markets expanded, with the exception of Japan, Thailand and Indonesia. The largest contributors to the increase in NODX were the EU 28 (48.3 per cent), Hong Kong (38.1 per cent) and China (15.8 per cent), it added.
Non-oil re-exports (NORX) rose 3.1 per cent last month, compared to the 9 per cent decline in October due to an increase in non-electronic NORX outweighing the contraction in electronic NORX.
2017 NODX TO FINALLY BREAK CONTRACTIONARY CYCLE: UOB
Analysis from UOB following the release of export figures noted that trend growth for Singapore's NODX has been improving since it reached its minimum turning point in April 2015.
"This bodes well for Singapore’s NODX for 2017, where we should expect stronger NODX growth compared to what we had experienced this year," it said.
It also predicted the electronics NODX to be a driver of this growth, saying the expansion in November was "heartening" as it marked the first month of on-year expansion in nine months.
"We maintain our 2016 NODX growth forecast of -4.1 per cent, marking the fourth full year NODX decline. Nevertheless, we forecast 2017 NODX to finally break the contractionary barrier and grow 0.7 per cent, although it is still a very weak growth," UOB said.
