#DidYouKnow rainfall in Singapore is not evenly distributed across the island? The central and western parts experience more rain compared to the eastern side. 🌧️
One reason is due to Sumatra squalls, which are common during this time of year. These are lines of thunderstorms that arrive in the morning, moving from west to east. Most of the rain is therefore experienced in the west, as the intensity diminishes as the thunderstorm travels eastwards.
