Weather Overview
SINGAPORE – While the iconic rock anthem by Guns N' Roses might have you picturing dreary days, the reality for Singapore this November is quite the opposite! Get ready for warm conditions coupled with thundery showers almost every day over the next two weeks, as anticipated by the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS).
Rainfall Predictions
According to their weather advisory released on November 1, residents can expect moderate to heavy rain in various parts of the island during the afternoons, with a chance that some showers may linger into the evening on select days. This weather pattern is attributed to the prevailing inter-monsoon conditions in the region, characterized by light and variable winds and increased thunderstorm activity.
Possible Sumatra Squalls
But that's not all! Singapore might also experience the effects of Sumatra squalls, which have the potential to start the day with widespread thundery showers and gusty winds on one or two mornings in the coming fortnight. The overall forecast paints a picture of above-average rainfall across many areas of the island, making it crucial to keep an umbrella close at hand.
Temperature Trends
Daily maximum temperatures are predicted to hover between 32°C and 34°C, with a possibility of spiking above 34°C on certain days. This is quite a shift from the last two weeks of October, which saw scorching conditions with temperatures exceeding 34°C most days. The highest recorded temperature during that period was a sweltering 35.6°C in Paya Lebar on October 21.
October Weather Recap
Interestingly, October proved to be drier than usual, with below-average rainfall and only sporadic late morning and afternoon thundery showers. Despite a few instances of moderate to heavy rain, especially in northern and western Singapore around October 16, citizens enjoyed a relatively warm and dry spell.
Conclusion
