If you were revelling in the rainy season in March, you’ll be pleased to know that April is shaping up to be just as wet – well, at least for the first half. According to the Meteorological Service Singapore’s latest update on April 1, 2025 (no, not an April Fools’ joke), we can expect rainstorms with occasional thunder over the next two weeks.
Most of the showers will hit in the afternoons, with possibilities of stretching into the evenings – so it’s best to keep your brolly handy. And with the Sumatra squalls rolling in, we’re in for some heavy thunderstorms and gusty winds too. For the uninitiated, Sumatra squalls are intense lines of thunderstorms that develop over Sumatra, Indonesia, before sweeping over Singapore.
With inter-monsoon conditions setting in, consider swapping outdoor plans for cosy indoor activities. If you must brave the elements, take caution and check out our monsoon survival guide for handy tips, including where to find live flood updates.
