Intense, widespread showers expected on some days in first half of December, temperature could dip to 22°C
Thundery showers could be intense and widespread on a few days in December 2020 due to a large-scale convergence of winds over Singapore and the surrounding region.
SINGAPORE — Wet weather is expected to continue over Singapore for the next fortnight, with intense and widespread showers on a few days, the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said on Tuesday (Dec 1).
The daily temperature is expected to range between 24°C and 33°C on most days, with lows of around 22°C on a few rainy days. However, MSS said that the mercury could rise to around 34°C on one or two days.
MSS added that December is the wettest month of the year. In the next two weeks, more showers can be expected over Singapore and the surrounding region as the monsoon rain band is expected to lie close to the equator.
During this period, short-duration moderate to heavy thundery showers are forecast over parts of the island in the afternoon on most days.
On a few occasions, these showers may extend into the evening.
The thundery showers could be intense and widespread on a few days due to a large-scale convergence of winds over Singapore and the surrounding region, MSS said.
“A strengthening of the north-easterly winds can be expected in the latter half of the fortnight. This is forecast to bring occasionally windy conditions on some days.”
Overall, the rainfall for the first fortnight of December is expected to be near-normal over most parts of Singapore.
