The dry and warm weather experienced over Singapore and the surrounding region in the first fortnight of the month are forecast to persist in the second half of February 2019 due to stable atmospheric conditions arising from the presence of a dry air mass over the Southeast Asia region.

The Meteorological Service Singapore stated that the prevailing dry phase of the Northeast Monsoon season over Singapore and the surrounding region is expected to extend into the second half of February 2019. During the period, the low level winds are forecast to weaken and blow from the north or northeast.

In the early part of the second fortnight, localized short-duration thundery showers can still be expected in the afternoon on some days due to strong daytime heating of land areas coupled with convergence of winds over Singapore and the surrounding vicinity.

The service stated that the showers could extend into the evening on one or two of these days. Overall, it noted the rainfall for February 2019 is likely to be well-below normal.

With dry and warm conditions expected for the rest of the month, the service said that the daily maximum temperature could rise to around 34°C especially on days with little or no rain and when winds are light. On most days, the daily temperatures are forecast to range between 24°C and 33°C.

邻国马来西亚客工在社交新闻网站上发帖,感谢新加坡人在马国“锁国”之际伸出援手,帮助陷入难题的客工。 网友“u/pohpia”发文感谢新加坡人的友善对待,并在帖文写道,“愿我们携手合作(保持一米的距离),共存共荣”。 马国于周三(18日)开始锁国措施,以遏止武汉冠状病毒(Covid-19)疫情传染,并将持续至3月31日。约30万名每日往返两地马国客工,为了避免受到禁令影响而丢了饭碗,匆匆忙忙地越过长提返回狮城。 这名网友指出,为了帮助这些客工,多家公司争相在一天之内为他们安排住宿,并确保他们在半夜前通过关卡后,将他们运送到住宿区。 网民也补充说,政府也为这些客工和公司迅速提供了一些宿舍和酒店清单,以免他们露宿街头。 据人力部长杨莉明之前指出,已经有超过一万名马国籍员工于周三获得住宿。 但是,《今日报》也揭露,并不是所有客工都那么幸运,有约20名客工被迫于周四(19日)凌晨1时,在克兰芝地铁站的地板上,铺了纸皮就地露宿。 69 Hokage则指出,他之前很讨厌那些住在马国新山却到新加坡工作的客工,因为他们赚取新元却在马国花费,但是看到现在的情况后,他只对他们感到敬佩。 其他的新加坡网友也很快做出回应,对有需要的马国客工提供帮助。 一些网友也在次分享了经验,凸显了每日往返两国所面对的困难,新加坡的网友也因此产生了理解和同理心。 网友estifashion写到,“在这个艰难时期,每个人都为了生存而做出牺牲。彼此面上戴上微笑,保持耐性”…
