About 2500 mm of precipitation falls per year. The maximum number of them (about 300 mm) falls in December, the minimum (140 mm) - in June. The downpours fall unexpectedly, but they also end quickly. Thunderstorms are frequent, the largest number of them occurs in May and averages 19 days per month.

Singapore's climate is characterized by high humidity. In the morning, its value is about 90%, and by the middle of the day, it decreases to 70-75%.

The city-state of Singapore is located on the island of the same name and small islands adjacent to it. There are more than 50 islands in total, the largest among them is Sentosa Island. Singapore is separated from Malaysia by the Johor Strait, through which a dam is built, and from Indonesia by the Straits of Malacca and Singapore.

The area of Singapore is 581 sq. km. Its length from west to east is 42 km, and from north to south - 23 km. About 40% of the territory is occupied by park areas, nature reserves, plantations and forests. Almost half of the land has the status of residential, commercial and industrial significance. The relief of the island is flat, there are no places exceeding 180 m in height. Coastal areas are low-lying, often swampy. There are coral reefs off the southwestern shores.

The Kalang and Singapore Rivers flow through the island.

Flora
Singapore's natural vegetation is tropical rainforests, but most of them have been reduced and given over to agriculture, water tanks and urban development. The northern and northwestern regions remain the last untouched islands of equatorial vegetation, but most of them are cultivated and used as a garden and park area.

Pockets of forests have also been preserved on the islands. The largest area of untouched forest is the Bukit Timan Nature Reserve, where there are more than 800 varieties of native plants, including giant trees, ferns and flowering plants.

Fauna
It is also home to an extensive population of long-tailed macaques, lemurs, reticulated pythons, drongo and white-bellied sea eagle. The Sungei-Buloh Nature Park, lying on wetlands, is a wintering place for migratory birds from all over the eastern part of the Asian continent.

Singapore is one of the most unusual cities in Asia. The largest shopping center in the region and one of the main ports of Asia, it has attracted the attention of millions of visitors from all over the world since its foundation. Old colonial quarters and ultramodern skyscrapers, temples and green parks, busy shopping streets, and one of the largest seaports in the world - all this is concentrated here on a relatively small territory, forming a unique aura of this city-state.
