Hello Halo! Did you spot it this afternoon? These faint coloured rings encircling the sun are formed by the refraction of the light through ice crystals in high-level clouds under relatively clear conditions. #SGWeathergrams #SGWeather

TGIF! Making your plans for the weekend? Don’t forget to bring your brolly along.

A developing northeast monsoon surge in the region is bringing periods of showers to Singapore today. As the monsoon surge strengthens, widespread rain, heavy at times, is forecast later tonight. The rain is expected to be persistent and last over this weekend. This will bring cool and windy conditions, with daily minimum temperatures dipping to 21-22°C in some places. This is the 2nd monsoon surge to affect the island this month, after 2 days of continuous rain from a monsoon surge last week. #SGWeather

#SGWeather SG experienced a few spells of widespread moderate to heavy thundery showers from around 4.30am today. Rainfall was heaviest over the north and west. For the rest of the day, cloudy conditions with light to moderate rain in the afternoon can be expected. For the next few days, thundery showers are expected between the morning and early afternoon.

#SGWeather Caught these rays in our skies recently?

These are anti-crepuscular rays, which extends across the sky and radiate on the horizon opposite the sun; if the rays are converging towards the sun, they are called crepuscular rays. Both phenomena usually occur at sunrise or sunset, due to the scattering of light by small water droplets or particles in the atmosphere. #WeatherWednesday

#SGWeather Have you ever been caught in the rain with the sun still shining? This meteorological phenomenon is known as sunshowers. This also means that the possibility of spotting a rainbow is high, if the sun is at a low angle in the sky 🌈

#DidYouKnow the South of Singapore is cooler?

No, this is not about swagger, but rather about the cool sea breeze 🌬️ that comes from the Singapore Strait, a water body that is situated at the south of our island.

#WeatherWednesday #SGWeather

It may feel hotter in Singapore than it actually is, due to our island’s humidity. The high humidity also makes it harder for our bodies to cool down.

In this hot and humid climate, it is important to drink up and stay hydrated!
