SINGAPORE: Expect more rain in the first half of April compared to the previous fortnight, said the Meteorological Service Singapore on Monday (Apr 1).
This is because the dry phase of the northeast monsoon has ended, and inter-monsoon conditions started at the end of March.

On two or three days, there could be thundery showers with gusty winds in the morning.
“During the inter-monsoon period, the monsoon rain band lies near the equatorial region and more showers can be expected over Singapore and the surrounding region,” said the Met Service.
It added, though, that warm conditions are expected to continue, with the daily maximum temperature forecast to reach more than 35 degrees Celsius on a few days.
