rain areas singapore​ 27 35

Being near the equator, Singapore experiences frequent rainfall throughout the year. Some parts of Singapore tend to get heavier downpours, particularly during the Northeast and Southwest monsoons.

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and its surroundings are well-known for frequent wet weather. This is partly because these areas have more forested land and hilly terrain, which can attract heavier clouds.

Flood-prone zones include the city centre, Orchard Road, and parts of Bukit Timah. During intense rainfall, these areas can see water levels rise quickly due to the drainage system being overwhelmed.

In the east, Pasir Ris and Bedok tend to get less rain overall, but they still website see occasional storms, especially in December and January.

Many Singaporeans use the NEA’s weather radar or apps like myENV to see where it’s raining in real time.

Overall, rain can happen anywhere in Singapore but knowing which areas are most affected helps with travel planning, especially during monsoon months.
