Heavy rain is expected over many areas of Singapore on Wednesday (July 8) evening.

In a weather update issued at 7.30pm, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said it expects thundery showers over many areas in the evening, and cloudy thereafter.

It has also forecast similar weather conditions in the late morning and early afternoon on Thursday.

Separately, Singapore's national water agency PUB announced on its Telegram channel that heavy rain is forecast from 8pm to 9pm.

Checks on Meteorological Service Singapore's live weather radar at 7.55pm show rain clouds approaching from the southwestern part of Singapore, in vicinity of Jurong Island.

The heavy rain eased at around 8.07pm.

Earlier on Wednesday morning, a heavy rain alert was also issued by the agencies at around 8.24am. It was subsequently lifted at 9am.

In a fortnightly weather update issued on July 1, the weatherman said that total rainfall for the first half of July is expected to be below average over most of Singapore. 

During that period, daily maximum temperatures are likely to range between 33 deg C and 34 deg C on most days, climbing past 34 deg C on days with less cloud cover.
