Moderate to heavy thundery showers are expected over parts of Singapore in the afternoon on most days, said the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) on April 1.

The showers may extend into the evening on a few of these days.

In addition, Sumatra squalls may bring widespread thundery showers and gusty winds on one or two mornings.

The total rainfall for the first fortnight of April is forecast to be above average over most parts of the island.

Daily maximum temperatures are likely to range between 33 deg C and 34 deg C on most days, and may reach around 35 deg C on a few days.
