Singapore’s weather is tropical and rain can occur almost any day of the year. Certain areas in Singapore are more prone to heavy rain and flash floods, especially during the monsoon season.

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.

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.

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

For live rain updates, the NEA website and weather apps are reliable sources for checking affected areas before leaving home.

In summary, being aware of rainy hotspots can help Singaporeans avoid delays and stay safe during wet weather.
