Enjoy the rainy spells as much as you can, ’cause it’s about to get real hot for the rest of the month.
According to the weather wizards at the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS), the maximum daily temperature on most days during the second fortnight of the month is forecasted to be around 33°C or 34°C. On particularly hellish days, it could even reach a high of around 35°C.
Relief from the searing heat will come in the form of short-duration thunder showers that can be expected on four to six days, mostly in the late morning and early afternoon. It’s going to feel real cosy in bed, as MSS expects widespread thundery showers with occasional gusty winds on two or three days between the pre-dawn hours and morning.
So far, the highest daily maximum temperature recorded this month reached 34.6°C on Oct 11 at the Changi climate station. Meanwhile, our friends in Bangkok will be enjoying a cold spell at the end of October, with temperatures forecasted to dip between 14°C and 15°C. Oh, and Thailand will be at its coldest in December until the middle of January.
