SINGAPORE \u2013 Have your umbrellas ready, as short-duration thundery showers are expected across parts of Singapore on some late mornings and afternoons in the second half of August.<\/p>\n
There may also be several fair and occasionally windy days, said the Meteorological Service Singapore in its fortnightly weather advisory on Aug 17.<\/p>\n
It said total rainfall for the second fortnight of the month is forecast to be below average over most parts of the island.<\/p>\n
During this period, the daily maximum temperatures are likely to range between 33 and 34 deg C on most days.<\/p>\n
On a few days, the daily maximum temperature could reach a high of 35 deg C.<\/p>\n
Most nights may also be warm and humid, with temperatures staying above 27 deg C.<\/p>\n
South-west monsoon conditions are prevailing over Singapore and the region, and are expected to continue in the next two weeks, with winds blowing from the south-east or south-west.<\/p>\n
Dry conditions are expected to persist in the coming days, with hotspots and smoke plumes observed in the surrounding region, said the Met Service.<\/p>\n
These have been seen mostly in the southern and central parts of Sumatra and various parts of Kalimantan.<\/p>\n
With the prevailing south-easterly or south-westerly winds, Singapore may experience hazy conditions<\/span><\/a> should the fires intensify, it added.<\/p>\n It said the National Environment Agency (NEA) will continue to closely monitor the situation and give updates.<\/p>\n Should the 24-hour PSI enter the unhealthy range of over 100, NEA will provide daily haze advisories, it added.<\/p>\n In its review of the first half of August, the Met Service said the weather was mostly dry, with only a few days of brief showers \u2013 including thundery showers \u2013 over the island.<\/p>\n The conditions were attributed to suppressed rain cloud formation caused by a dry air mass over Singapore and the surrounding region.<\/p>\n The highest daily total rainfall of 39.2mm was recorded on Aug 2 in Seraya Road in Joo Chiat and on Aug 15 in Paya Lebar.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, daily maximum temperatures exceeded 33 deg C on all but one day, with the highest daily maximum temperature of 34.9 deg C recorded on Aug 14 in Pulau Ubin.<\/p>\n The Met Service said nights during this period were warm, with minimum temperatures remaining above 27 deg C across many parts of the island.<\/p>\n Well-below-average rainfall was recorded across the island, with Changi having the highest anomaly of 100 per cent below-average.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SINGAPORE \u2013 Have your umbrellas ready, as short-duration thundery showers are expected across parts of Singapore on some late mornings and afternoons in the second…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":77255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=77254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77254\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/77255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=77254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=77254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=77254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
