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. 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. 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 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.

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