Singapore braces for second monsoon surge with less intensity from January 17 to 19

Singapore is set to experience a second monsoon surge from January 17 to 19, but it is expected to be less intense and shorter than the previous surge earlier this month. The Meteorological Service Singapore noted that predicting the exact impact remains challenging. Coastal areas may face flash flooding due to higher tides, even without heavy rain. Residents in affected areas are preparing for potential flooding, recalling past experiences during similar weather events. As of January 15, rainfall in Singapore has significantly exceeded the monthly average, raising concerns about the potential for record-breaking precipitation this January.
