Singapore can expect short-duration thundery showers in the afternoon and evening on six to eight days in the next fortnight, the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said on Friday (14 December).

The ongoing Northeast Monsoon in the region is expected to persist in the next few months, the MSS said.

“Towards the last week of December 2018, a surge of monsoon winds over the South China Sea is likely to bring converging winds over the region and more intense thunderstorm activities over Singapore on one to two days, accompanied by occasional windy conditions.”

On another one to two days of the fortnight, thundery showers are expected in the morning. The rainfall for December is forecast to be near normal.

The daily temperatures in the second fortnight of this month are expected to range between 24°C and 33°C on most days. The daily maximum temperature may reach a high of 34°C on a few days, with the minimum temperature dropping to a low of 23°C on days with intense rainfall.
