The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said on Tuesday that there may be widespread thundery showers in the pre-dawn and morning hours on several days, accompanied by gusty winds brought on by Sumatra squalls.

On some days, short and localised thundery showers can be expected over parts of the island in the afternoon and evening.

Rainfall for the next two weeks can be expected to be slightly above average. The total rainfall for May is predicted to be near average over most parts of the island.
