Warm and humid weather set to continue for the rest of June: Met Service

SINGAPORE — The warm and humid weather conditions in the first half of June is expected to continue for the rest of the month, with minimum night-time temperatures of up to 28°C expected on several days.

In a news release on Wednesday (June 16), the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said that the prevailing southwest monsoon conditions over the island and surrounding regions are expected to persist for the rest of June.

The daily temperature on most days is expected to range between 25°C and 34°C.

On days where there is little to no rain, the daily maximum temperature could reach 35°C.

Warm and humid weather conditions can also be expected on some nights when prevailing winds from the southeast or south blow warm and humid air from the sea.

“On these nights, minimum night-time temperatures of up to 28°C can be expected, particularly over the south-eastern parts of the island,” MSS said.

The weather agency added that a mass of dry air from the Indian Ocean is forecast to move over the equatorial Southeast Asia region on a few days in the early part of the fortnight.

This brings with it fair and warm weather over Singapore and the surrounding region.

“On some days during the fortnight, localised short-duration thundery showers are forecast over parts of the island in the late morning and early afternoon due to strong day-time heating of land areas.

“On one or two days, widespread thundery showers with gusty winds due to Sumatra squalls are forecast between the pre-dawn hours and morning,” it said.

The rainfall for June is expected to be below normal over some parts of Singapore.
