SINGAPORE: Heavy showers on Wednesday morning provided respite from the hot and dry spell gripping Singapore.
And the weatherman said more rain can be expected in the coming weeks as the inter-monsoon season approaches.
The Meteorological Services Division said the showers on Wednesday were due to a weak monsoon surge, which refers to a strengthening of winds over the South China Sea.
Such a monsoon surge is common during the Northeast monsoon months of December and January, but can also occur occasionally towards the end of the monsoon season in March.
Between 30 and 45 millimetres of rainfall were recorded in the southern and central parts of Singapore on Wednesday.
