Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) has issued a forecast that the temperature in the country will range between 33°C and 34°C for the next fortnight and on a few days it could even reach 35°C and the weather is expected to be generally warmer and drier.
Singapore is expected to see lesser rainfall as compared to the last two weeks and the short duration thundery shower will likely to occur in the late morning and early afternoon on four to five days due to solar heating of land areas. In addition, on one or two days in the pre-dawn and morning, thundery showers with gusty winds due to Sumatra squall are likely to come about.
“Southwest Monsoon conditions are forecast to persist in August 2016 with the low level winds blowing mostly from the southeast or southwest,” MSS wrote.
