The Singapore (Paya Lebar) climate is characterised by uniform temperature and pressure, high humidity and abundant rainfall. The climate of Singapore can be divided into two main
seasons, the Northeast Monsoon and the Southwest Monsoon season, separated by two
relatively short inter-monsoon periods.

North-East Monsoon Season - December to early March - Northeast winds prevail,
sometimes reaching 20 km/h. Cloudy conditions in December and January with frequent
afternoon showers. Spells of widespread moderate to heavy rain occur, lasting from 1 to 3
days at a stretch. Relatively drier in February till early March. Also generally windy with wind speeds sometimes reaching 30 to 40 km/h in the months of January and February.

Pre South-West Monsoon - late March to May - Light and variable winds with afternoon and early evening showers often with thunder.

South-West Monsoon Season - June to September - Southeast/Southwest Winds. Isolated to scattered late morning and early afternoon showers. Early morning 'Sumatra' line squalls are common. Hazy periods.

Pre North-East Monsoon - October to November - Light and variable winds. Sea breezes in the afternoon. Scattered showers with thunder in the late afternoon and early evening.

Temperatures range from 19.4 deg C to 35.8 deg C. There is no distinct wet or dry season. Rainfall maximum occur in December and April. The drier months are usually in February and July.



=======================================================

Apologies for going missing for an extended period of time as I was swamped with materials to study as well as a hectic training schedule. Managed to clear CAAS Form 32 and Base Check, with the next stage being Base Training with the airline. The pace at which things went in the past six weeks was amazing and everything went by in a blink of an eye.

I'll try to keep up with the backdated posts and update this post with the links below.
