Remember to bring an umbrella with you when you go out because- wait a minute, we don’t leave our houses anymore.

If there’s one thing great about the CB that we’re now under, it’s that we get to avoid the troublesome weather when it rains.

Just like May.

More Rain Expected in First Half of May

If you think rainy days aren’t enough in April, there’ll be more rainy days waiting up ahead for you in the first half of May.

The weathermen of Singapore says that on most days, you can expect short-duration thundery showers in the late morning and early afternoon.

And on one to two days, the rain could extend into the evening too.

But, it’s going to be warm too.

Temperature to Be Up to 35°C on Certain Days

Don’t expect Singapore to go into winter mode like what happened previously.

May is normally one of the warmest months of the year, and this year is no different.

We can expect daily temperature on most days to range between 25°C and 34°C.

And on some days, it could hit as high as 35°C.

Be prepared to sleep with your aircon on too as some nights will be hot and humid with temperatures reaching as high as 28°C.

Remember To Check Around Your House For More Breeding Spots

With more rain, it might be a good idea for Singaporeans, especially those staying in private property, to check their homes for mosquito breeding spots.

The number of dengue cases reported for 2020 is exceptionally high and if nothing is done about it, the number of cases could exceed 16,000 cases, the total number reported in 2019.

NEA is urging for Singaporeans to reduce breeding spots in their own homes.

Because most people are now working from home, they are urging all homeowners and occupants to pay more attention to their surroundings.

Take the necessary steps to prevent or remove mosquito breeding grounds and mosquitoes from your premises.

Over the past three years, NEA has detected a 50% increase in Aedes mosquito larval breeding found in homes.

Check for any clean and stagnant water as mosquitoes can breed even in water the size of a 20-cent coin.

One way to find out is to monitor how frequently everyone is bitten at home.

The female Aedes mosquito, they revealed, usually reside in homes and will come out to bite during the daytime.
