A rainy September in Singapore has segued into an equally wet October. While the Southwest monsoon is coming to an end, the tail end of the season is still wrought with rainy days. Most of the mornings and afternoons of at least the first half of the month will see thundery showers, according to the latest official weather advisory by the National Environment Agency (NEA). Some days might also be windier than others as Sumatra squalls sweep over the island.

Despite the waterworks, our hot and humid climate persists. According to the report, daily maximum temperatures are predicted to be between 32 and 34 degrees Celsius on most days during this period, with some days exceeding 34 degrees. Either way, it’ll be a good idea to have an umbrella with you at all times – whether for shelter against the sun or rain.

Stay dry with indoor activities over the next few weeks. We recommend visiting Japanese artist Daisuke Kondo’s first solo exhibition in Singapore, or chilling out at some of Singapore’s newest cafés. There’s also Book Bar, a relatively new and underrated bookstore-café at Duxton with titles by local authors. And if you’re a fangirl of K-pop star G-Dragon, you’ll have a real treat at Jewel Changi Airport with G-Dragon Media Exhibition: Übermensch.
