What's cooking, good looking. Quite clearly, it's Singapore. And the warm weather is not letting up for the rest of March, with dry and warm conditions set to persist till the end of the month. These conditions are due to prevailing Northeast Monsoon conditions, with low-level winds blowing from the northwest or northeast. 

Daily maximum temperatures are expected to be around 34 and 35 degrees Celsius, says the Meteorological Service Singapore. Daily maximum temperatures may even exceed 35 degrees Celsius on a couple of days when there is less cloud coverage. That's especially in this week – so we're almost through with the worst of it.

The forecast also sees short and thundery showers on some afternoons, particularly in the last week of March. That's your cue to pack your umbrella and wear wet weather-friendly shoes. Still, the total rainfall for the second half of March is expected to be below average over most parts of the island – a contrast to the first fortnight of March, when most parts of Singapore recorded above-average rainfall. 

Keep up with the weather on the MSS website, NEA website, or the myENV app. In the meantime, we've got some ideas for cooling off.
