Chilly, rainy mornings this week were just as the weatherman had predicted.
The Meteorological Service Singapore said in a statement last month that widespread thundery showers with gusty winds were expected in the early morning on two to three days in the first half of August, although rainfall was forecast to be slightly below normal over most parts of Singapore.
It also predicted that warm and humid nights were expected in the first half of August, with temperatures hovering around 28 deg C.
