Best Time To Visit Singapore

Owing to the climatic zone and the maritime conditions all around, the weather in Singapore feels like summer all year round. But in the months of May and June, the weather in Singapore remain extremely hot. It becomes difficult to enjoy outdoor activities. The temperature itself is not as high – it has only been as high as 36°C on certain occasions in the summer months. But it is the high humidity that makes the weather in Singapore in June feel much hotter. In the mornings, it can go as high as 90% and come down to around 60% in the afternoons. But one can enjoy beach activities like sunbathing or shopping in the cool interiors of Marina Bay Sands.

The southwest monsoon is the actual rainy season in Singapore. From July to September, there are prolonged heavy rains and the humidity levels reach 100%. But the eastern side of Singapore often remains comparatively drier than the western side because of Rain Shadow Effect caused by Bukit Timah Hill. Despite the small size of Singapore, the tourists can often find the other side of the country to be sunny and dry while it pours down on another side.

The best season to visit Singapore for everyone is the spring season. From mid-March to early May, Singapore climate is perfect for tourists – dry, not too hot and neither very humid. The hotel prices go higher, flight rates spike, and there is an overall burst of tourism in the entire country. So, if one wants to visit Singapore during this period, bookings must be done well in advance. Temperature of Singapore in May starts spiking, but it does not start raining until June. So, the tourists can easily enjoy all the outdoor and indoor activities without any hassle or trouble at all.

Like any equatorial country, Singapore does not really get a distinct winter. The temperature in Singapore hovers around 25°C – 32°C throughout the year on an average. In fact, the winter months of the northern hemisphere, i.e., November to January is mostly covered in rain. The weather of Singapore in December is often wet and humid. It is the North-east monsoon that brings the second batch of showers into the island country during this mid-November to early March. There are torrential showers and heavy winds in the afternoons, with cloudy conditions for the rest of the day - much like the weather of Singapore in May only. But for those who do not care about getting a bit wet, this time of the year is a great time to go for the trip because of low flight fares and pocket-friendly accommodations.
