Introduction

Attention, Singaporeans! As we step into the first half of April, it's time to keep those umbrellas close, as the weather forecast predicts thundery showers almost every afternoon.

Weather Forecast

The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) announced on April 1 that moderate to heavy rain is likely to sweep across various parts of the island during this period. Expect some of these showers to linger into the evening on several occasions, providing a refreshing coolness after a hot day.

Sumatra Squalls

Additionally, keep an eye out for Sumatra squalls that may deliver widespread thundery showers accompanied by strong gusty winds on certain mornings. This dynamic weather pattern could result in above-average rainfall across most regions of Singapore in the coming weeks.

Temperature Outlook

On the temperature front, anticipate daily highs ranging from 33°C to 34°C, with occasional spikes up to 35°C. Enjoy the warmth because the north-east monsoon conditions that have dominated the area since mid-November 2024 are predicted to gradually wind down, paving the way for the inter-monsoon period.

March Weather Recap

Reflecting on last month, March proved to be an exceptionally wet month, breaking records with a staggering total rainfall of 482.9mm, surpassing the previous record of 451mm set in March 2004! The second half of March experienced significant weather activity, with a monsoon surge bringing intense showers on March 19 and 20, resulting in a remarkable daily total of 216.8mm recorded in Kallang on March 20 alone.

Conclusion

This unpredictable weather may be invigorating for some but could pose challenges for outdoor activities and travel. As we navigate these rainy days ahead, staying informed about weather updates is crucial for your plans! So, make sure your plans are shower-proof and embrace the beauty of Singapore's tropical climate – because nothing beats a cozy evening listening to rain pouring down. Stay dry and prepared!
