Singapore is a city-state country that is located in the Southeast Asia region. Singapore is situated at the end of the Malay Peninsula with Malaysia being Singapore’s neighboring country both Singapore and Malaysia are separated by the Johor Strait. Singapore does not have major cities it does however have 60 other smaller islands such as Jurong Island being the largest island on the southwest of the main island (Rodriguez, 2022). Singapore is surrounded by the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. The city-state of Singapore is located in the tropics with a latitude of 1.21 N and a longitude of 103.49 E (Gaw, 2019). The city-state of Singapore is built up of islands as all edges of Singapore are surrounded by two bodies of water.
Many other geographical features make up Singapore, and some of these include the rivers, hills, and rarely mountains. One can say that this is what shapes the way one can see and know about Singapore where we see that the rough terrains can cause weather pattern changes. Singapore’s central region has rough terrain surrounded by multiple hills. The hills that are located in Singapore can also cause weather pattern changes on the other smaller islands. Certain islands will have sunny weather whereas other islands will have partly cloudy weather.
