No plans for a winter vacation this year-end? Fret not. You can still dig through your wardrobe for your cosiest jumpers, ’cause the first two weeks of October brings with it sweater weather. So prepare your umbrellas, raincoats and rain boots for thundery showers, which are forecast on six to eight days of the fortnight, mostly during late mornings and afternoons.
Rain may continue till the evening on some days, which could mean possible train breakdowns during peak hours — because we all know by now how the system gets a little shaky when it’s pouring outside.
The Meteorological Service Singapore said that rainfall will likely be more than usual, with temperatures hitting between 24°C and 33°C — although they could also max out at 34°C or fall to 22°C.
If you love huddling in the office and listening to the patter of raindrops, thank the inter-monsoon conditions, which bring in low-level winds from the south-east or south-west.
