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.

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.

Monsoon season to start in late November
Monsoon season to start in late November
Posted 24 Nov 2016 11:24 Updated 24 Nov 2016 13:30
SINGAPORE: The monsoon season is expected to start in late November, said the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) and PUB in a joint statement on Thursday (Nov 24).
The northeast monsoon season is common in the southern ASEAN region and comprises of a wet and dry phase. The wet phase – from December to January – is characterised by short-duration moderate to heavy thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon, and extending into the evening on some days.
There will be about 18 days of rain in December and 13 in January, the agencies said.
There may also be two to four episodes of monsoon surges – periods of prolonged, widespread, moderate to heavy rain lasting between two and five days, occasional windy conditions and cooler temperatures.
In contrast, the dry phase from February to March typically brings less rainfall and drier weather conditions.
During the northeast monsoon season, MSS said it will issue heavy rain warnings when intense rain or prolonged monsoon rain is expected, in addition to regular weather forecasts and warnings.
Members of the public can monitor the risk of flash floods at PUB’s website.
PREPARING FOR FLASH FLOODS
In preparation for the monsoon season, officers from PUB have distributed advisories to around 600 residents and shop owners in low-lying and hotspot areas. The advisories have tips the public can take to protect their belongings and premises against possible flash floods.
About 100 major construction worksites have also been checked to ensure that the rains around the sites are free-flowing. PUB added that it is working with agencies and town councils to ensure drains and canals across Singapore are kept functioning effectively.
The National Environment Agency has also increased the frequency of its checks and clearing of drains.
Drainage improvement projects are currently on-going at 76 locations. Drainage improvement works to the Sunset Way outlet drain are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2017, while works at Kallang River – between Bishan Road and Braddell Road - are expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2018.
PUB added that it also has plans to start drainage upgrading at 26 locations by year-end.
