In Singapore, rain is a common part of daily life because of its tropical climate. Some parts of Singapore tend to get heavier downpours, particularly during the Northeast and Southwest monsoons.
The central and western regions of Singapore, such as Bukit Timah, Jurong, and Bukit Panjang, often record higher rainfall. The abundance of parks and forested land in these regions can contribute to increased rainfall.
City areas such as Orchard, Newton, and parts of the CBD occasionally face flash flooding after heavy storms. After strong showers, you might spot water pooling in low-lying city areas before it drains away.
While eastern neighbourhoods website generally receive less rainfall, they’re not immune to sudden heavy rain.
Many Singaporeans use the NEA’s weather radar or apps like myENV to see where it’s raining in real time.
In summary, being aware of rainy hotspots can help Singaporeans avoid delays and stay safe during wet weather.
