Hottest – Eastern region
......
Using data from 4 climate stations, the East has an average temperature of 29.97°C, edging out the South by 0.01°C. Here’s a breakdown of the numbers:
Changi – 27.8°C
East Coast Parkway – 27.9°C
Paya Lebar – 28.0°C
Tai Seng – 28.1°C
......
the West has a hillier terrain, which increases the chances of rain. With all the precipitation ‘dumped’ over the West, the East gets left with drier and warmer air.
The chart below captures rainfall from 1981 to 2010. The dark blue patches representing high rainfall are skewed towards the West.

When natural land cover is replaced by urban surfaces like buildings and roads that trap heat, the area’s temperatures increase accordingly.
Coincidentally, the East has belts of completely urbanised areas, with no “big stretches of vegetation”, reports Channel NewsAsia (CNA).
In contrast, the West has many green pockets such as reservoirs and agricultural areas.
According to a study cited by CNA, temperatures between urban and less built-up areas in Singapore can vary by up to a whopping 7°C.
2nd hottest – Central region
......
Marina Barrage – 28.3°C
Newton – 27.5°C
Pasir Panjang – 27.5°C
Sentosa Island – 27.9°C
Since skyscrapers populate the Central region, you can imagine how warm it gets as the glass surfaces take in heat and reflect sunlight.

3rd hottest – Western region
......
Choa Chu Kang (South) – 27.5°C
Clementi – 27.5°C.
Jurong West – 27.2°C
Jurong Island – 28.2°C
Tuas South – 28.0°C
Coolest – Northern region
......
Ang Mo Kio – 27.4°C
Admiralty – 27.4°C
Khatib – 27.8°C
It shouldn’t be surprising, considering how the North is home to sprawling green spaces, untouched forests, and farmlands.
......
The North is also where the Central Water Catchment area and Singapore Zoo are at.
