This follows the second fortnight of February when north-east monsoon conditions prevailed over Singapore and the surrounding region, MSS said in its review of weather conditions for that period. It added that low-level winds blew mainly from the north-west or north-east then.

Thundery showers fell over part of the Republic in the afternoon on most days of the second fortnight of February, MSS said, adding that the rain extended into the evening on some days.

Strong convergence of winds over the region in the first few days of that period resulted in dense cloud formation, heavy rain and cooler temperatures over Singapore.

The highest daily rainfall during that period, at 148.6mm, was recorded on

in Queenstown. Widespread heavy thundery showers poured over Singapore in the afternoon and evening that day, MSS said, adding that the lowest daily minimum temperature of 20.3 deg C was recorded in Newton then.
