4 Annual average rainfall distribution (1981-2010)Fig 5 â Mean monthly temperature variation (ºC) (1981-2010)Fig 6 â Hourly variation of temperature for each month (1981-2010)Compared to countries in the temperate regions, temperatures in Singapore vary little from month to month and also from day to day. The daily temperature range has a  minimum usually not falling below 23-25ºC during the night and maximum not rising above 31-33ºC during the day. While every effort has been made to site the instruments in relatively unobstructed areas to provide the best possible indication of the general weather conditions, there are times when this is not possible. The major weather systems affecting Singapore that can lead to heavy rainfall are:The occurrence of these events at different times of year is outlined in the following table. Rainfall is plentiful in Singapore and it rains an average of 167 daysFig 1 â Average number of rain days per month (1981-2010).Fig 2 â Monthly rainfall for Singapore (mm) (1981-2010)Fig 3 â Hourly variation of rainfall for each month (1981-2010).While there is no distinct wet or dry season in Singapore, monthly variations in rainfall do exists. Higher rainfall occurs from November to January during the wet phase of Northeast Monsoon season (Figs. The strongest winds occur during the Northeast Monsoon in January and February (Fig 10). Winds in Singapore are generally light, with the mean surface wind speed normally less than 2.5 m/s except during the presence of a Northeast Monsoon surge when mean speeds of 10m/s or more have been observed. The other times when strong winds occur are during thunderstorms. Surface wind gusts are produced from thunderstorm downdrafts and from the passage of Sumatra squall lines.Visibility is generally good during the Northeast Monsoon months from December to March except during rainfall or showers.

Current weather in Singapore and forecast for today, tomorrow, and next 14 days Overcast conditions caused by extensive middle to high layer clouds together with active cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds are often experienced during the passage of a âSumatraâ squall lineDuring a Northeast Monsoon surge, broken to overcast medium layer clouds occur together with large cumulus clouds producing prolonged widespread rain and intermittent bouts of heavy rain. The average temperature is between 25 degrees Celsius and 31 degrees Celsius.

Climate of Singapore Singapore is situated near the equator and has a typically tropical climate, with abundant rainfall, high and uniform temperatures, and high humidity all year round. Visibility, however, usually improves quickly within a few hours after sunrise when the mist dissipates. Spring here is warm, and it rains much less often. Wind directions are mainly from northerly to northeasterly during the Northeast Monsoon (December to March) and southerly to southeasterly during the Southwest Monsoon (June to September). May and June has the highest average monthly temperature (24-hour mean of 27.8ºC) and December and January are the coolest (24-hour mean of 26.0ºC). Singapore, being an island, also has a coastal climate. The proximity of the sea has a moderating influence on its climate. During the afternoon and early evening, these cumulus clouds may develop into cumulonimbus clouds with tops reaching between 30,000 and 40,000 ft (9 â 12 km).The clouds diminish and begin to flatten into stratiform layers by dusk and slowly disperse during the night.

On any given day, winds generally follow the prevailing monsoon flow except when light winds are being modified by terrain or weather systems (e.g., showers or thunderstorms and land or sea breezes).  Slight to moderate haze, which is common during the Southwest Monsoon and in light wind conditions during the inter-monsoon months, can reduce the visibility to below 10 kilometres. The average temperature is about + 27 °C (81 °F). Singapore is situated near the equator and has a typically tropical climate, with abundant rainfall, high and uniform temperatures, and high humidity all year round. During severe episodes of transboundary smoke haze, visibilities below 1 km have been recorded. Poor visibility is also often observed between 0500hr and 0900hr in light to calm wind conditions when mist forms. On an average day, cumulus clouds start to develop in the mid-morning, increasing to about 3-4 oktas (one okta is one eighth of the sky) by midday with bases of around 2,000 ft (0.6 km) and tops from 8,000 to 12,000 ft (~ 2.5 â 3.5 km). Many of its climate variables, such as temperature and relative humidity, do not show large month-to-month variation.
