Interactive: Wet, windy and cold: Sights of a rain-soaked Singapore
On average, Singapore experiences between two and four monsoon surges each year. They occur mostly between the months of December and March.
Monsoon surges occur when sudden increases in wind speed push cold air southwards to the South China Sea. As the cold air moves south, it warms and gathers moisture. This results in dense rain clouds forming over the equatorial region in which Singapore is located. From pedestrians getting drenched, people holding colourful umbrellas to others working in the rain and taking shelter from the storm, The Straits Times Picture Desk captures the love-hate relationship that people here have with the weather.Pedestrians with umbrellas and raincoats crossing Kitchener Road during afternoon showers on Jan 25, 2023.A resident rushing to collect laundry hanging along the corridor in Pasir Ris Street 52 during a sudden downpour on Feb 20, 2023.
