Being near the equator, Singapore experiences frequent rainfall throughout the year. Certain areas in Singapore are more prone to heavy rain and flash floods, especially during the monsoon season.

Areas like Bukit Timah, Bukit Panjang, and Jurong usually see more rain due to their elevation and surrounding greenery. The abundance of parks and forested land in these regions can contribute to increased rainfall.

Even busy urban spots like Orchard Road and the CBD have had more info issues with sudden heavy rain causing flash floods. 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 they still see occasional storms, especially in December and January.

To stay updated on rain areas in Singapore, residents often check weather apps or the NEA’s “rain area” map before heading out.

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