Being near the equator, Singapore experiences frequent rainfall throughout the year. While rain falls across the island, some neighbourhoods may experience more intense showers at times.
The central and western regions of Singapore, such as Bukit Timah, Jurong, and Bukit Panjang, often record higher rainfall. This is partly because these areas have more forested land and hilly terrain, which can attract heavier clouds.
Even busy urban spots like Orchard Road and the CBD have had issues with sudden heavy rain causing flash floods. Heavy downpours in these locations sometimes result in temporary flooding on roads and walkways.
The eastern parts like Bedok and Pasir Ris may get slightly less rain but are still affected during monsoon periods.
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 check here delays and stay safe during wet weather.
