More thundery showers expected for next two weeks
Expect the wet weather to stay for the next fortnight.
The weatherman has forecast thundery afternoon showers on most days during this period, with the showers extending into the evening on a few days.
Due to the large-scale convergence of winds over Singapore and the surrounding region, widespread moderate-to-heavy thundery showers are expected on some days as well, the weatherman said on Monday.
This may be coupled with thundery showers and gusty winds on a few mornings.
The total rainfall for the first half of November is forecast to be above average over most parts of the island. On most days over the fortnight, daily temperatures will lie between 24 deg C and 33 deg C.
Despite the showers, the daily maximum temperature could still hit 34 deg C on some days.
Wetter days over the fortnight are expected to bring slightly cooler temperatures, with daily maximum temperatures below 32 deg C and minimum temperatures below 23 deg C.
The wet weather forecast for November follows an October that saw short-duration thundery showers over a few parts of the island in the late morning and afternoon on most days.
The second half of October was wetter than the first, with more rain days.
October was still a warm month, despite the showers, with the daily maximum temperatures exceeding 34 deg C on 17 days.
At the Changi climate station, the mean monthly temperature recorded in October was 28.5 deg C - 0.6 deg C higher than the long-term mean of 27.9 deg C for the month.
Most parts of the island received slightly below-average rainfall during the month. - THE STRAITS TIMES
