Singapore's rather dry and fair weather, which spanned most of February, looks to be coming to an end. The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said on Monday (Mar. 1) that March will see the return of thundery showers for Singapore. First few days going to be fair and occasionally windy According to MSS, generally fair and occasionally windy conditions are expected for the first few days of March. In the second week, however, short-duration thundery showers are expected over parts of the island in the afternoon on most days. On a few of these days, heavy thundery showers can be expected, as there is a convergence of winds over Singapore and the surrounding area. Overall, the rainfall for the first two weeks of March is forecast to be around normal for most parts of the island. Although rain and showers are expected, the daily temperatures still could reach a high of around 34°C on a few days. Most days, though, the daily temperature is forecast to range between 24°C and 33°C. February particularly dry & windy February 2021 was particularly dry and windy, compared to other Februaries. According to MSS, the total rainfall recorded in February 2021 at the Changi climate station was 1mm. The long-term average for February is 112.8mm. This ranks February as the second driest February since rainfall records in Singapore began in 1869. The dry weather also resulted in the lowest average daily relative humidity — 73.8 per cent — recorded in Singapore since 1984, when continuous humidity records began. February 2021 was also the second windiest February since continuous wind records commenced in 1984, with an average daily wind speed of 13.1 km/h recorded at the Changi climate station. source: https://mothership.sg/2021/03/sg-weather-mar-2021/

Speed limit for buses on roads is 50km/h. Winds Hit Up To 49.3KM/H At Places Like Admiralty Singaporeans may have noticed strong gusts of wind when going outdoors today (18 Jan), threatening to blow our laundry away. You’re not imagining it as wind speeds in our island nation hit as high as 49.3 km/h in places like Admiralty. Such increases in wind speeds are usually experienced during the presence of a Northeast Monsoon surge. Admiralty winds hit 49.3 km/h According to the Meteorological Service Singapore, northeast winds hit Admiralty at higher speeds than the rest of Singapore. At about 11am, the area saw wind speeds of up to 49.3 km/h — that’s almost as fast as our buses travel. To put this into perspective, the speed limit for buses on roads is 50 km/h. While the speeds were not sustained for long, Admiralty still experienced wind speeds of over 30 km/h for about 4 hours. Strong winds all around Singapore Other than Admiralty, other parts of Singapore like Tai Seng also experienced high wind speeds of up to 37.4 km/h between 10am and 3pm. Changi’s wind speeds hit 31.9 km/h as well in the afternoon. Well, as it’s been pretty cloudy over the past few days, the breezy weather certainly helps to dry our clothes even as the sun hides. Windy weather may continue According to National Environment Agency (NEA), Singapore experienced average wind speeds ranging between 15-30 km/h. As of time of writing, Tuesday (19 Jan) is forecasted to have around the same conditions. This may be good or bad depending on how well you clip your laundry. Reminder to clip laundry well & use paperweights for documents While Singapore may not have the title of The Windy City – it goes to Chicago in the United States – it’s refreshing to let some fresh air breeze through the house. However, remember to batten down the hatches and find some paperweights. You don’t want to return to a mess should you forget to close the windows.

According to NEA, a monsoon surge is forecast to affect the region from Feb 7 to Feb 9 and it is expected to bring windy conditions with widespread moderate to heavy rain to Singapore. Rainfall for the first two weeks of February 2016 is expected to be slightly above average. Dunno zhun or not but looks like its going to rain throughout CNY. No need to wash car liao... haha... and pls drive safe if it rains
