Warm days and thundery showers expected in first half of June

SINGAPORE - Singapore can expect to have a few warm days with temperatures hitting as high as 34 degree Celsius in the first half of June, said the National Environment Agency (NEA).

The warm days will also see short-duration thundery showers between five to seven days in the late morning and early afternoon.

Thundery showers with gusty winds due to Sumatra squalls can be expected on one to two days in the pre-dawn and morning.

There might be slightly hazy conditions in the early morning due to the accumulation of particulate matter under light wind conditions.

NEA said rainfall for the first fortnight of June 2015 is likely to be near-normal.

Low level winds are also expected to come in from the southeast or southwest, it added.
