Climate and Average Weather in Singapore
Singapore experiences a tropical climate with distinct variations due to the monsoons. The eastern monsoon brings the driest weather from June to September, while the western monsoon introduces the main rains from November to January. However, rainstorms can occur all year round. Especially along the coastal areas, Singapore experiences consistently warm and at times, humid weather throughout the year.Temperatures seldom dip below 24°C at night, and daytime temperatures rarely exceed 36°C. The high humidity and lack of wind can make it feel particularly warm.
Although Southeast Asia is routinely struck by cyclones, Singapore's proximity to the equator shields it from direct hits by these powerful storms. Nonetheless, it does frequently encounter tropical depressions. This results in extended periods of wet and grey weather, particularly towards the year's end, where grey days and tropical rains increase in frequency.
For a visit to Singapore, February stands out as the best choice due to its drier and less humid conditions. Alternatively, considering a trip during July and August is also a good choice.
