SINGAPORE can expect widespread showers with gusty winds to occur on two to three days in the second half of May.

This will take place in the pre-dawn hours and morning, said the Meteorological Services Division in a statement.

Short-duration afternoon showers with thunder are also likely.

But the MetService expects a few hot days early in the period, easing to wetter and cooler conditions during the last week of the month.

About two-thirds of Singapore experienced above average rainfall during the first 2 weeks of May.

The highest rainfall of 115 mm to 130 mm was recorded in the Kranji area.
