Punggol

Because Singapore sits about 1.3 degrees north of the equator, the midday sun passes to the north of overhead for part of the year and to the south for the rest, rather than staying on one side of the sky year round. The table above shows, month by month, which side the midday sun passes over Punggol, computed for the area's approximate centre. A specific block or unit within Punggol will match this closely, though the exact reading can vary slightly with its precise location.

Any home facing west in Punggol receives direct low angle sun in the afternoon as the sun swings towards the west before sunset, the same as anywhere else in Singapore. This tool's compass readings at 5pm show how far west the sun sits at that time of year for Punggol. Whether a specific unit actually feels this depends on its own facing and whether another building stands between it and the setting sun.

Sunrise and sunset in Punggol shift by less than half an hour across the year, since Singapore is so close to the equator. The table above gives the sunrise and sunset time on the 15th of each month for Punggol's approximate centre, in Singapore time.

The figures on this page are calculated for the approximate centre of Punggol and give a general picture for the area.
