Northeast Monsoon to Persist, Singapore Faces Below-Average Rainfall for Remainder of January

Singapore will remain under the influence of the Northeast Monsoon through the second half of January. Winds over the island and surrounding areas are expected to blow mainly from the northeast or northwest, shaping the overall weather pattern.

These conditions are typical for this time of year, but will bring fewer rain spells than usual.

Drier Conditions Ahead

Weather forecasts indicate that rainfall will stay below average for the rest of the month. While there may be a few days with passing showers, prolonged or widespread rain is unlikely.

Most showers, if they occur, are expected to be brief and localised, mainly during the afternoon or evening.

Warm Days Likely

Daytime temperatures are expected to remain warm, hovering around the low to mid-30s°C on most days. Some afternoons may feel hotter, especially during longer dry spells. Nights should be slightly cooler but still humid.

What Residents Can Expect

With fewer rainy days ahead, outdoor activities are likely to face fewer weather disruptions. However, residents are advised to stay hydrated and be mindful of water usage if dry conditions continue.

Sudden showers are still possible, so carrying an umbrella remains a good idea.

Weather Outlook

The Northeast Monsoon usually weakens toward the end of January. Until then, Singapore can expect mostly dry weather with occasional brief rain and steady monsoon winds.

Summary

Singapore is set to experience below-average rainfall for the remainder of January as Northeast Monsoon conditions persist. The outlook points to mostly dry, warm days with only occasional short showers, making it a relatively dry end to the month.
