Warm nights, wet days for the rest of May

SINGAPORE — Wet days and warm nights are expected over the next fortnight, the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said in a media advisory on Tuesday (May 16).

Short-duration thundery showers - which can be heavy on some days - are expected on six to eight days in the late morning and afternoon and could extend into the evening on one or two of those days.

On two or three days, there may be widespread thundery showers accompanied by gusty winds between the pre-dawn and early morning hours, the met service forecasted.

Although most parts of Singapore received below normal rainfall in the first half of May, rainfall for the rest of the month is expected to be slightly above normal.

Wind conditions are also expected to pick up towards the end of May and persist into early June, the MSS added.

The temperature for the rest of the month is expected to range between 24°C and 33°C, reaching a high of 34°C on a few days. The MSS also said that on some non-rainy nights, temperatures may be relatively warm due to weak south-east winds bringing warm, humid air from the sea toward the land.

Likely no haze from Indonesia affecting the region this year, says government official

JAKARTA - There should be no haze from Indonesia affecting the region this year, Mr Nazir Foead, the chief of Indonesia's Peatland Restoration Agency, said on Thursday (May 18).

"(Considering) the prediction with the drought, with the preparation that the Government is making, and the re-wetting activities... I would say, there should be no more haze going to neighbours," Mr Nazir told reporters on the sidelines of an international conference on peatlands, organised by the Indonesia-based Centre for International Forestry Research.

His prediction comes after South Sumatra province governor Alex Noerdin said last month that there will be no haze coming from his province this year.

Their predictions come just before the annual dry season in Indonesia that usually stretches from June to December. During this period, haze from forest fires caused by land clearance activities clouds the region.

But it is unlikely that the dry season will this year be as bad as in 2015, when Singapore experienced the worst haze on record. That year, a weather phenomenon known as El Nino - associated with dry and hot weather - caused fires there to burn harder and for longer.

The 2015 crisis spurred Indonesia to take action. The Peatland Restoration Agency that Mr Nazir leads, for example, was set up in January 2016 to restore about 2 million ha of peatland in seven provinces by 2020.

In an update on Thursday, Mr Nazir said about 200,000ha were restored last year. This year, the aim is to restore another 400,000ha, he said.

One way of restoring peatlands is to build dams in irrigation canals. These canals were built in the first place to drain peatlands so palm oil or pulpwood can be planted on it. But the drainage also causes the peat to become more flammable. Mr Nazir said about half of the 2 million ha Indonesia plans to restore fall in concessions managed by large companies. The Government is keeping close watch over them to ensure compliance, he said.

Companies like Asia Pulp and Paper, as well as April, two of Indonesia's largest paper companies, have announced plans to build canals that can re-wet plantations.

But Mr Nazir said consumers and suppliers in Singapore have a part to play to reduce haze too.

"You will be surprised to see how many Singapore investments are involved in driving the peat swamp conversion - money from Singapore. So, Singaporean investors should now look into how they could direct their investments to do work on the ground, on land use, more on restoration and not on converting more forests," he said.

First two weeks of July to be rainy, but expect a few warm days: Met Service

SINGAPORE: The first fortnight of July is expected to be rainy, much like the second half of June, the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said on Friday (June 30).

Thundery showers are expected mostly in the late morning and early afternoon on five to seven days, the Met Service said.

In addition, widespread thundery showers with occasional gusty winds are expected on two or three mornings during that period.

The daily temperature is mostly expected to range between 25°C and 33°C.

However, a few warm days are expected in the latter half of the fortnight, where the daily maximum temperature could reach about 34°C.

RAIN BROKE WARM, DRY SPELL IN JUNE

The second half of June saw more rainfall than the first half of the month, with the heaviest rain on Jun 18, the Met Service said. That day, the Mandai area saw the highest daily rainfall, logging 137mm of rain.

The lowest daily minimum temperature recorded was 21.8°C on Jun 23, a day that saw widespread rain across Singapore.

Dry and warm weather prevailed in the earlier half of the month, with below-average rainfall.

About half of Singapore received below-normal rainfall in June, the Met Service said. The Tanjong Katong area received the lowest rainfall of 81.6mm, which was 36 per cent below average.

Rainfall was highest in the Jurong area, which logged 255mm of rain, 59 per cent above average.

At the Changi climate station, the mean monthly temperature recorded for June was 28.5°C, which is slightly warmer than the long-term mean of 28.3°C for the month.

Dry and warm weather forecast for second half of July

SINGAPORE: Unlike the first two weeks of July, the weather for the second half of the month is expected to be dry and warm, said the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) on Monday (Jul 17).

The daily maximum temperatures are forecast to be around 32°C, with some days seeing a high of around 34°C.

Still, there could be short, thundery showers expected mostly in the afternoon for four to six days and widespread thundery showers on one or two days in the early hours of the day, MSS said.

Rainfall forecast for the month remains normal, despite the above-average rainfall for the first two weeks of July. Paya Lebar saw the highest rainfall of 168.4mm while the lowest rainfall was recorded in Changi at 77.2mm.

"The wet weather in the first fortnight of the month was also due to the passage of Sumatra squalls which brought widespread thundery showers with gusty winds to Singapore on some days between the predawn hours and early morning," said MSS.

During this period, the highest daily rainfall of 110.6mm was recorded in Bukit Timah on Jul 14.

Night-time weather during this period was generally cool with daily minimum temperatures dipping to between 22.3°C and 24°C on 10 days. The lowest daily temperature of 22.3°C was recorded in the Marina South area on Jul 12. Additionally, the daily maximum temperatures ranged between 28.7°C and 33.7°C.

Wet weather expected to persist in second half of August: Met Service

SINGAPORE: More rainy days are expected in the second half of August, the Meteorological Service Singapore said in an advisory on Wednesday (Aug 16).

During this period, short-duration thundery showers are expected on six to eight days, mostly in the late morning and early afternoon, according to the Met Service.

It added that on one or two days, there could be widespread thundery showers accompanied with gusty winds between pre-dawn hours and the early morning, due to Sumatra squalls.

Temperatures are likely to be similar to that of the first half of August, with temperatures ranging between 25°C and 33°C on most days. Daily minimum temperatures could go as low as 22°C, especially when rain falls over the island for most of the day, the Met Service added.

However, a few warm days can be expected in the later part of the month, with the daily maximum temperature reaching as high as 34°C on a few days.
