SINGAPORE – Those heading out in the last two weeks of November should keep their umbrellas handy as thundery showers are expected over parts of Singapore on most afternoons, said the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS).
In its fortnightly weather advisory on Nov 17, the MSS said that the showers may extend into the evening on a few of these days.
Sumatra squalls may also bring widespread thundery showers and gusty winds on a few mornings during this period.
The total rainfall for the second fortnight of November is forecast to be above average over most parts of the island.
Daily maximum temperatures are likely to range between 32 deg C and 33 deg C on most days but may reach around 34 deg C on a few days.
The north-east monsoon is expected to set in around end-November, bringing with it stronger winds blowing from the cool Northern Hemisphere towards the Equator. The season typically extends to March.
In its review on weather conditions in the first half of November, MSS said that inter-monsoon conditions over the island and the surrounding region brought light and variable winds.
There were thundery showers in the afternoon on most days.
