The holiday season is just around the corner. While we can’t exactly have a white Christmas, the monsoon season will be giving us cool, albeit rainy, nights for us to sleep through.
If you felt a little extra chilly on Monday (2 Dec), that’s because temperatures dipped a little lower than expected. The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said that temperatures in parts of Singapore went below the predicted 22°C.
The lowest temperature recorded on the day was 21.4°C, according to The Straits Times.
MSS told ST that December’s lowest temperature was recorded at 6pm on 1 Dec in Admiralty.
This isn’t 2019’s coolest day though. On 5 May, eastern parts of Singapore apparently experienced 20.8°C weather.
Earlier in Oct, temperatures in some parts of Singapore also went below 22°C.
According to MSS, Singapore will likely experience “periods of widespread moderate to heavy showers” in the first week of December due to monsoon surge that will last between 2 to 4 days.
Temperatures for the first week of December will fall between 22°C and 30°C.
The monsoon conditions are expected to last until Mar 2020.
Now that it’s colder, it’s time to unearth all your knitted pullovers and too-hot-for-Singapore clothes that you’ve been dying to wear.
That said, let’s hope we won’t see more flash floods as a result of the expected downpours.
