MONSOON UPDATE

The region is currently in the inter-monsoon period with the winds mostly light and variable in direction. During the inter-monsoon period, the rain band lies near the equatorial region and more occurrences of thundery showers can be expected. Thundery showers and lightning activity tend to be more intense during these months than during the Northeast and Southwest Monsoon seasons.

The daily temperature on most days is forecast to range between 24°C and 34°C. Although thundery showers are expected on most days, the daily maximum temperature could still reach a high of around 35°C on a few days. The strong daytime heating of land areas coupled with convergence of winds over Singapore and the surrounding vicinity are conducive for the development of thunderstorms.

In the coming weeks, thundery showers in the afternoon are expected over Singapore on most days, with the showers extending into the evening on a few of these days. Near-normal rainfall and above-normal temperatures over Singapore can be expected during this inter-monsoon period.

The Northeast Monsoon is expected to progressively set in towards the end of November 2025 or early December 2025 with the winds strengthening and blowing mainly from the northwest or northeast.
