Hello Zestie,

Singapore, near the equator, enjoys a tropical climate with high temperatures, humidity, and rainfall year-round. The competition among the four regions continues; let's take a look at which one is the most humid.

1st place: Eastern Region:

- Average temperatures up to 29.97°C, lower rainfall due to the rain shadow effect, making it drier and warmer.

- Key areas: Changi (27.8°C), East Coast Parkway (27.9°C), Paya Lebar (28.0°C), Tai Seng (28.1°C).

This temperature disparity is partly due to lower rainfall caused by the rain shadow effect. The Western region, with its hillier terrain, tends to receive more rainfall, leaving the Eastern region drier and warmer as most precipitation is concentrated in the West. A rainfall chart from 1981 to 2010 underscores this, showing darker blue patches indicative of higher rainfall in the West.

2nd place: Central Region:

- Urban development and skyscrapers contribute to heat retention.

- Key areas: Marina Barrage (28.3°C), Newton (27.5°C), Pasir Panjang (27.5°C), Sentosa Island (27.9°C).

While information on the Western and Northern regions is limited, based on available data, the Western region ranks third, followed by the Northern region, which is the coolest in Singapore. I hope this information proves useful, especially for those considering where to apply for Build-To-Order (BTO) housing!
