A monsoon surge is expected to hit Singapore from March 19 to 21, marking the third such surge this year. This surge could bring windy and cooler conditions, with daily temperatures dropping to as low as 22 degrees Celsius, said the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) on Monday (Feb 17). During this period, expect moderate to heavy showers over the island with subsequent daily temperatures expected to range between 24 and 34 deg C on most days. Lower minimum temperatures of around 22 deg C may also occur. The second half of March is also expected to see above-average rainfall across most parts of the island, with short-duration thundery showers continuing in most afternoons, said MSS. The monsoon surge is due to the strengthening of the north-eastern winds over the South China Sea, causing the development of thick cloud cover and frequent rainfall. In a Facebook post on Monday (March 17), the Public Utilities Board (PUB) issued a warning on the intense rainfall which could potentially overwhelm drains and canals, causing flash floods. Read more
