data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Dry and warm conditions are expected from this weekend until the end of next week, said the National Environment Agency (NEA) in a Facebook post on March 20, adding that hot spots with smoke plumes were observed in Central Sumatra in Indonesia and Johor, Malaysia, on March 20. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The dry conditions, coupled with prevailing winds blowing from the north-east, may cause \u201can increase in hot spot activity and a continued risk of smoke haze\u201d, the agency said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Singapore is expected to experience warmer conditions in the coming week, with daily maximum temperatures reaching 35 deg C to 36 deg C on some days, NEA said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\"

the good to moderate range, it said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The Meteorological Service Singapore said in its fortnightly weather forecast on March 16 that the second half of the month is expected to be warmer and drier than the first two weeks of March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The daily maximum temperatures during this period are likely to range from 34 deg C to 35 deg C, and may exceed 35 deg C on some days when there is less cloud coverage, it said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Total rainfall over the upcoming two weeks is expected to be below average over most parts of the island, though short thundery showers are expected over parts of the island on some afternoons, added the weatherman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br
