SINGAPORE – Keep your umbrellas handy in the next two weeks as short thundery showers are expected in the late morning and early afternoon. 

According to the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) on Wednesday (Aug 16), the wet weather conditions experienced in the first half of August 2017 are expected to continue to the end of the month. 

During this period, short-duration thundery showers due to strong solar heating of land areas are expected on six to eight days. 

In addition, on one or two days over the next two weeks, the occurrence of Sumatra squalls could bring widespread thundery showers accompanied with gusty winds to Singapore between the predawn and early morning. 

Despite the wet weather conditions, the MSS said that warm conditions can be expected with the daily maximum temperature reaching a high of around 34°C.

The rainfall for August is forecast to be in the near-normal range, with mean rainfall levels at 148.9 mm.

The daily temperature is expected to range between 25°C and 33°C.
