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.

Areas like Bukit Timah, Bukit Panjang, and Jurong usually see more rain due to their elevation and surrounding greenery. Heavily wooded and elevated places can sometimes experience longer or heavier showers.

City areas such as Orchard, Newton, and parts of the CBD occasionally face flash flooding after heavy storms. Heavy downpours in these locations sometimes result in temporary flooding on roads and walkways.

The eastern parts like Bedok and here 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 delays and stay safe during wet weather.
