The weather forecast for Singapore for the first two weeks of May 2020 will be like how it always was: Warm and wet like a dog's tongue.
The warm weather is expected to extend from the end of April into the first half of May 2020.
More showers are also forecast in the next two weeks.
During this period, daily maximum temperatures of around 34°C are expected on most days and could reach highs of around 35°C on a few days.
One of the warmest months of the year
May is normally one of the warmest months of the year.
The first half of May 2020 is forecast to be warm with the daily temperature on most days ranging between 25°C and 34°C.
On a few days, the daily maximum temperature could rise to around 35°C.
On some nights, warm and humid conditions with night-time temperatures of around 28°C are expected when prevailing winds blowing from the southeast bring warm and humid air from the sea.
Short duration showers
On most days in the first fortnight of May 2020, short-duration thundery showers with frequent lightning are expected between the late morning and afternoon.
The showers could extend into the evening on one or two of these days.
There would also be a few days of widespread thundery showers with occasional gusty winds between the predawn and morning, arising from the passage of Sumatra squalls over the island.
Rainfall to be above-normal
Overall, the rainfall for Singapore in the first fortnight of May 2020 is forecast to be above-normal over most parts of the island.
