Singapore Weather Outlook: Sunshine & a Sprinkle of Haze Ahead
What to Expect in the Next Two Weeks
- Dry Days Dominating: The pace of rainfall is set to slow down further from last week of July, making the upcoming fortnight the driest stretch in half a month.
- Heat is Back: Daily temps will stay in the 26–33 °C range, with a few scorchers topping 34 °C. Even at night, a warm, humid blanket drapes the city, keeping lows around 28 °C.
- Windy Interludes: Some days could pick up a breeze, making the tropical humidity a bit more bearable.
- Short‑Lived Showers: On four or five occasions, a quick rain splash may appear in pockets of the island, but nothing lasting.
- Haze Alert: Fires and smoke plumes off Sumatra and Kalimantan might cast a slight haze over Singapore, depending on wind direction.
Why July Was Such a Dry One
- At Changi, July’s total rainfall hit a historic low of 12.2 mm, the driest ever recorded in over 155 years.
- This eclipsed the previous record of 18.6 mm set back in 1997.
- Spring weeks can be moister, but July strays almost completely off the chart.
- Temperature climbs as well — July averaged 29 °C, making it the second-warmest July in nearly a century.
- The warmest back‑last‑century July was in 2015, averaging 29.1 °C.
So grab your sunscreen, don’t get tangled in the thin haze, and enjoy the sun in one of Singapore’s driest months in history. Stay cool!
