What causes turbulence on Singapore flights?

Turbulence on flights from Singapore Changi Airport can be caused by several factors including jet streams, mountain waves, convective weather, and seasonal weather patterns. Tropical location means year-round convective potential. Monsoon seasons (Nov-Jan, Jun-Sep) can increase turbulence. Routes crossing the ITCZ may be bumpy.
