What You Need to Know About Singapore's Weather

Singapore’s climate is consistently hot and humid due to its location just 85 miles north of the Equator. Daytime temperatures average around 87.8°F, dropping to 75.2°F at night. The heat can feel intense, especially from April to May when humidity exceeds 80%, making midday walks quite challenging.

The weather is shaped by two monsoon seasons. From November to March, the northeast monsoon brings heavy rain and thunderstorms. May and June are the hottest months, followed by the southwest monsoon, which brings drier conditions. Thankfully, air-conditioning is widespread across Singapore—in taxis, museums, and offices—making it easier to stay comfortable.

For the latest weather in Singapore, you can check a weather forecast detailing the temperatures, humidity, and expected rainfall over 24 hours. But be warned, Singapore’s weather is rarely predictable, especially during the rainy season.

Though susceptible to heavy downpours, a full day of rain is quite rare, with most showers lasting between 10 minutes and a couple of hours. After the rain, humidity levels drop to make for a more comfortable evening, so the rain can actually be a blessing in disguise.
