SINGAPORE: It's going to be hot in the next two weeks, with the daily maximum temperature forecast to range between 33°C and 34°C on most days, said the Meteorological Service Singapore on Thursday (Mar 16).
It added that on a few days when there is "strong solar heating and the winds are light", relatively warm temperatures of between 34°C and 35°C can be expected.
The warm weather may be accompanied by short thundery showers on five to seven days - mostly in the afternoon but could extend to the evening, said the Met Service in its fortnightly update, adding that heavy thunderstorms can be expected on some days "because of strong convention due to daytime heating of land areas."
These weather conditions are characteristics of the inter-monsoon period, which is expected to prevail into April and May, according to the Met Service.
It said light wind conditions are also common during this period, during which particulate matter in the atmosphere takes a longer time to disperse. "This may occasionally result in the appearance of slightly hazy skies over parts of Singapore on some days," it added.

Sutra in Forty-Two Sections - Section 4 , 5
Section 4
Clarifying Good and Evil
The Buddha said, "Living beings may perform Ten Good Deeds or Ten Evil Deeds. What are the ten? Three are done with the body, four are done with the mouth, and three are done with the mind. The three done with the body are killing, stealing, and lust. The four done with the mouth are duplicity, harsh speech, lies, and frivolousspeech. The three done with the mind are jealousy, hatred, and stupidity. Thus these ten are not in accord with the Way of Sages and are called the Ten Evil Deeds. To put a stop to these evils is to perform the Ten Good Deeds."
Section 5
Reducing the Severity of Offenses
The Buddha said, "If a person has many offenses and does not repent of them, but cuts off all thought of repentance, the offenses will engulf him, just as water returning to the sea will gradually become deeper and wider. If a person has offenses and, realizing they are wrong, reforms and does good, the offenses will dissolve by themselves, just as a sick person who begins to perspire will gradually be cured."
