Singapore gets relief from scorching heat; prepares for breezier, cooler weather as monsoon season sets in
TIL Creatives Singapore gets relief from scorching heat Following weeks of stifling, record-breaking heat, Singaporeans are to see a much-needed improvement in the weather as the Southwest Monsoon sets in. The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) says the switch to this monsoon season, which began in early June, will result in significantly breezier and more pleasant weather around the island. Throughout the Southwest Monsoon, which occurs from June to September, Singapore sees more frequent southeast and southwest wind patterns. With these winds and a greater likelihood of afternoon showers, they tend to ease the heat and humidity that have been prevalent throughout the preceding months. Temperatures, which had reached some of the highest earlier in the year, largely between 36°C to 37°C by day, are now expected to moderate into a more bearable temperature range. 'While humidity will remain a factor, the increased wind and rain will make the heat feel less severe and offer some relief to both residents and visitors,' noted a spokesperson from the MSS. 'This is the typical pattern we see as the Southwest Monsoon sets in.'The recent heatwave saw health advisories and warnings issued for the public to remain hydrated and avoid outdoor activities during hot sun hours. With the onset of changed weather, officials are positive that these threats may decrease, but they ask to remain alert of heat-related illnesses. Also, the National Environment Agency (NEA) is reminding people to be proactive in controlling mosquitoes. The spells of rain during the monsoon can result in more still water, which provides breeding ground for mosquitoes and may lead to an increase in cases of dengue fever. As Singapore enters the monsoon season, the forecast is for balmy, breezy days to come - although experts warn that the weather can still be volatile, with hot spells breaking out between the showers.
