2024 was one of Singapore’s wettest and warmest years. Total annual rainfall was 8.1 per cent above the long-term average, and the year tied with 2019 and 2016 for the warmest years on record.

And from Jan 10 to 13, 2025, the Republic was battered by incessant rain associated with a monsoon surge – blasts of cold air from Central Asia. A second monsoon surge is set to hit Singapore this weekend, from Jan 17 to 19.

According to Singapore’s third national climate change study, such stormy weather is set to increase in frequency and intensity.
