Dry January? Scratch that. This month is wet as heck thanks to the monsoon season in the region, and even our usually sunny Singapore isn’t spared. It was previously reported that we would be expecting flash floods for a couple of days, but it looks like the waterworks are here to stay for a little while longer.
According to the latest 10-day weather forecast on Accuweather as of today, January 14, 2025, it seems that the rain won’t be relenting anytime soon, with rainy days and thundery showers expected till January 23. That’s more than a week more of a soaked city to endure – or enjoy, depending on what good weather is in your books.
Prepare yourselves for sweater weather. On most days, temperatures in Singapore are expected to hit lows of 24 to 25 degrees Celsius – what most of us would refer to as ‘air-con weather’. And while curling up in bed with a good book sounds like a perfectly cosy idea, those who’d rather not stay holed up can check out our recently updated compilation of best indoor activities on rainy days in Singapore.
In particular, watch out for heavy thunderstorms happening this weekend on January 18, Saturday.
Although the predictions for dates after the 23rd are currently not out at time of writing, one can probably expect there to be some continued rainfall, or at least residual drizzles that carry on steadily into the weekend.
Now let’s just hope that the weather clears up just in time for Chinese New Year, so that we can all attend our reunion dinners and house-visiting sessions without nasty traffic jams or sodden shoes cramping our style.
In the meantime, stay dry, stay safe on the roads, and keep updated on the latest weather news via the PUB Flood Alerts Telegram channel, or download the National Environment Agency’s myENV app (for Apple and Android).
