The wet weather expected over the next few days will come after a period of extremely hot weather of around 34°C.
Weather conditions can feel hotter than they actually are because of factors like ambient air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed.
Daily maximum temperatures at 34°C
Even with the rain forecasted over the next few days, the maximum temperature over the next few days remains at 34°C.
The month of May started off with warm and wet weather.
The second half of the month was relatively drier, and the daily maximum temperatures reached highs of around 36°C on some days.
For the first half of May, the highest daily maximum temperature of 36.7°C was recorded at Admiralty on May 13, 2022.
This is the highest temperature ever recorded in Singapore in May, surpassing the previous record high of 36.5°C on May 16, 2010 and May 3, 2016, said MSS.
