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