The rest of May is expected to be warmer and drier than the first half of the month, with the mercury forecast to hit a high of 36 deg C on a few days, said the weatherman on Tuesday.
Some nights are also set to be warm and humid, with temperatures reaching up to 28 deg C mostly over the southern and eastern coastal areas.
This is because prevailing winds blowing from the east or southeast would bring in warm and humid air from the seas, said the National Environment Agency's Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS).
For the second half of May, daily maximum temperatures are expected to hover between 34 deg C and 35 deg C on most days, added MSS.
May has already set heat records with the mercury shooting up to 36.7 deg C in Admiralty last Friday.
