SINGAPORE — The first fortnight of June is expected to be as wet as it was in the last fortnight of May, the weatherman said.
Thundery showers are expected between the late morning and early afternoon on six to eight days over the fortnight, the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said in a statement on Friday (May 31).
The warm and humid conditions in May can also be expected to continue in the first two weeks of June, as the south-west monsoon season sets in over Singapore and the surrounding region.
This season usually lasts until September and is a generally drier season compared to other times of the year.
This will likely mean more warm and humid nights, as the prevailing winds blow from the south-east and brings warm, humid air from the sea over the land.
The daily temperature on most days in June is forecast to range between 25°C and 33°C. On some days, minimum temperatures of up to 28°C can be expected at night.
The MSS added that on two to three days in the first fortnight of June, Sumatra squalls may bring widespread thundery showers and gusty winds in the morning.
The overall rainfall for the first half of June is forecast to be above normal over most parts of Singapore.
