The weather has been cooler lately due to South West Monsoon. Despite the haze from Indonesia and less than ideal conditions for photography, Chek Jawa has always been one of our favorite visit spots in Pulau Ubin.
South West Monsoon weather features according to NEA.
Showers and thunderstorms occurs between predawn and midday. Intense thunderstorms or squals that last for less than 30 minutes. Smoke haze is common.
The piglets are still there although their baby stripes are gone.
The rain shelter at Chek Jawa Coastal Walk is one our favorite spot for a lazy afternoon. Here, you can do some bird watching or plane spotting as they land against prevailing monsoon winds.

For romance of sea travels, the sight of ships steaming straight towards us guided by Chek Jawa land beacons must be an inspiring sight!
3G connection may be spotty in other parts of Ubin but its good here.
Its dark by the time we headed back. A rare sight of a large scorpion, its size compared to a folded note.
