In Singapore, rain is a common part of daily life because of its tropical climate. 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.
Even busy urban spots like Orchard Road and the CBD have had issues with sudden heavy rain causing flash floods. Heavy downpours in these locations sometimes result here in temporary flooding on roads and walkways.
The eastern parts like Bedok and Pasir Ris may get slightly less rain but are still affected during monsoon periods.
For live rain updates, the NEA website and weather apps are reliable sources for checking affected areas before leaving home.
Whether you’re commuting or planning outdoor activities, keeping track of rain-prone areas in Singapore is always useful.
