16 June 2026 – The prevailing Southwest Monsoon is forecast to persist through June to the end of September 2026. For the rest of this month, low-level winds over Singapore are expected to blow from the southeast or south, shifting to the southwest or west on some days.
2 Localised short-duration thundery showers are expected over parts of the island during the late morning and afternoon on most days. On a few of these days, the thundery showers may be heavy, when there is large-scale wind convergence over Singapore and the surrounding region. In addition, widespread thundery showers with gusty winds due to Sumatra squalls may occur between the pre-dawn hours and morning on a few days. Total rainfall for the second half of June 2026 is forecast to be above average over most parts of the island.
3 The daily maximum temperatures are likely to range between 33 degrees Celsius and 34 degrees Celsius on most days in the second half of June 2026. On a few days, the daily maximum temperature could reach a high of slightly above 34 degrees Celsius. Some nights may also be warm and humid, especially when prevailing winds blow from the southeast, bringing warm, humid air from the sea over land. On these nights, the temperatures may remain above 28 degrees Celsius, particularly over the southern and eastern coastal areas of the island.
