Singapore's Rainy Season: May Showers and 34°C Heat

Singaporeans should prepare for more wet weather! The Meteorological Service has warned of thundery showers expected on some afternoons throughout the first half of May. This follows a period of heavy rainfall in late April, with Bukit Timah recording a staggering 113.6mm of rainfall on April 20th – the highest in the past fortnight.

Expect Afternoon Thunderstorms and Sumatra Squalls

Inter-monsoon conditions, characterized by light and variable winds and increased lightning, will continue. This means that Singaporeans can expect thundery showers in the afternoon across parts of the island for the next couple of weeks. Adding to this, Sumatra squalls might bring widespread thundery showers and gusty winds in the mornings.

Temperatures to Remain High

Despite the rain, it's going to be hot! Daily maximum temperatures are predicted to hover around 34°C, with some days potentially reaching 35°C. Remember to stay hydrated and take precautions during the hottest parts of the day.

April's Wet and Warm Weather
