FAQ
Monsoon season: common questions
When is the monsoon season in Singapore?
The Northeast Monsoon usually runs from December to early March, with the wettest, most prolonged rain typically in December and January.
Will zip blinds stop monsoon rain?
Yes. The fabric is zipped into self-secured side guides, so it stays in place and keeps driving rain out, with wind resistance up to 140 km/h.
