The Rail Corridor is a former railway line that stretches 24km north to south of Singapore. The future Woodlands North Coast and Greater Southern Waterfront areas will be linked by this trans-island green artery. Now a “green corridor”, it will be transformed into a community space that links 1 million people within 1km of the Rail Corridor. When the Rail Corridor is connected by 2021, it will spur the development of surrounding lands and rejuvenation of older districts.

The June to September season this year was the wettest season in terms of most rainy days at the Changi climate station since 1982, highlighting the effects of climate change, say Dhrubajyoti Samanta and Benjamin P Horton.

This year’s June to September was wetter than normal. This is partly due to the intense moisture-laden winds blowing from the tropical Indian Ocean and Java Sea toward Southeast Asia.

As per the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) report, June was the wettest, and September the second wettest in the last 10 years.

Apart from an increase in mean seasonal rainfall, Singapore also experienced more rainy days during this period.

Changi climate station experienced a total of 73 rainy days in the season compared to the long-term average of 53 days over the past three decades, making it the wettest season in terms of most rainy days at the Changi climate station since 1982.

During this season there were several events with extremely heavy rain, such as on Jun 23, Aug 23, and Sep 12.

Despite its extensive drainage system, several flash flood events still occurred, such as the filling up of the Bukit Timah canal on Sep 12.

While the June to September anomaly is curious, it’s worth reminding ourselves that Singapore does see its share of heavy rains. Being a tropical country, Singapore experiences rainfall throughout the year.

Rainfall affects all residents in Singapore which has a huge impact on our daily activities and travel. Singapore’s rainfall is largely influenced by the northeast (winter) and southwest (summer) monsoon.

While winter monsoon (December to March) causes the highest rainfall of the year, southwest monsoon (June to September) has also an important role in Singapore’s weather.

The weather and rainfall in Southeast Asia during June to September are largely controlled by patterns of wind-flow associated with the southwest monsoon system.

In Singapore, low-level wind generally blows from south or southeast during June to September. The combination of moisture-laden wind from warmer ocean and monsoon rainband near the equator causes moderate to heavy rainfall during late morning and afternoon.

But the question remains why this uptick in rain happens and how concerned we should be.

In addition to the southwest monsoon, rainfall in Singapore during June to September depends on the number of Sumatra Squall events.

Sumatra Squall is an organised thunderstorm line that usually develops over Sumatra island or the Straits of Malacca overnight, which then moves eastward to affect Singapore and peninsular Malaysia.

Typically, the Sumatra Squall can bring about one to two hours of predawn or morning showers with thunder.

Interestingly, this year, Singapore has experienced higher number of Sumatra Squall events that has a significant role on the higher amount of rainfall in Singapore and several flash flood events.
