If you visit Singapore, you can expect a vibrant South-east Asian metropolis that combines a unique blend of heritage, modern architecture and impressive cleanliness. The culinary scene is diverse with street kitchens and fine restaurants, and the green oases, such as Gardens by the Bay, offer areas of natural beauty.
But when is the best time visit Singapore?
Read about the climate in Singapore below and find out when would be the best time for you to visit the scenic and lively island in South-east Asia.
Please note that the guide below is a guideline only, and recommendations may change on an ongoing basis.
The climate in Singapore
Singapore can be visited all year round.
The country’s location on the equator gives Singapore a tropical climate with stable, high temperatures and many days of rain all year round.
The weather in Singapore typically offers temperatures between 23 and 31 degrees all year round, and as it rains here all year round, there is no dry and rainy season as in other South-east Asian countries.
If you want to travel when the weather is “best”, you should do so between June and August. The humidity is lower during this period, which means less rain, and you’ll experience both more hours of sunshine and fewer clouds in the sky than in the rest of the year.
The monsoon seasons in Singapore
Instead of a rainy season and a dry season, Singapore has two monsoon seasons.
A monsoon is a wind phenomenon that occurs in tropical climates around the equator, resulting in strong winds from one direction for several months followed by winds from another direction for a long period.
Singapore’s first monsoon season falls from November to March, with winds blowing in from the north-east, and the second monsoon season falls from June to September, with winds coming from the south-west.
Particularly during the first monsoon season, thunderstorms and gusts of wind can occur early in the morning. However, during both seasons, the rain begins in the early morning, slowly subsiding over the afternoon.
In the period from June to December, there is also a chance of tropical cyclones, but the risk of the weather affecting your holiday is very small.
Even on rainy days, there is sunshine in Singapore
The rain in Singapore typically comes in short, heavy showers that pass quickly. After an intense rainstorm, the sun often breaks through again, and the air feels clean and refreshed. This changing weather creates a constant sense of renewal in the city.
For those travelling to the country, this means that no matter when you visit Singapore, you can expect a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere.
The rain showers also contribute to maintaining the city’s lush, green surroundings and the beautiful gardens that adorn the city. So whether you’re enjoying a tropical shower or the sun’s rays, Singapore will always give you a memorable experience.
