Wet days expected over the next two weeks

SINGAPORE — Expect more rainy days ahead; it looks like the last two weeks of the year is going to be wetter than the first half of December.

Short-duration thundery showers can be expected on seven to nine days over the next fortnight, mostly between the late morning and afternoon, the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said.

On one or two days, there could also be widespread thundery showers and gusty winds during the predawn and morning hours as the northeast monsoon continues to prevail.

The daily maximum temperature is expected to range between 32°C and 33°C on most days, but could also reach a high of 34°C. On some rainy days, the daily minimum temperature is expected to be cool and range between 22°C and 24°C.

Although December is the early phase of the North-east here, which typically brings more rain, rainfall in the first half of December was “significantly below normal”, the weatherman said.
