He weather in singapore It is something that you should take into account before embarking on your trip to this small country in Southeast Asia.
We will tell you below what the weather is like in Singapore, when to travel or what clothes you have to pack in your backpack.
Weather in Singapore
Singapore has a tropical climate, do not forget that it is not very far from the equator, so the climate is very marked by high temperatures, high humidity and rainfall.
As for the temperatures, you will not get many surprises or changes throughout the year, since it is quite regular. It is always between 29 degrees Celsius and 31 as maximum. And as minimum temperatures, it is between 23 and 24 degrees Celsius Who said cold?

It’s funny, since we traveled to Singapore a little before Christmas, and obviously all the lights and decorations around the city were on, and yet it was hot and humid. Not forgetting some tropical storm in the afternoon of great intensity, but short duration.
And yes, the rains are very common in Singapore throughout the year. But as I mentioned a little above, the rains are intense but short-lived, so don’t expect to spend a week raining non-stop, period.
Something that you will not forget about Singapore is the air conditioning of the interiors of commercial premises and transport.
The months of the year with more rain are from November to January.
Resorts in Singapore
Like any other country in that area of the planet, due to the tropical climate there are two seasons, one hot and dry, and the other hot and humid.
Actually, you won’t notice much difference between the two. But to put them on the calendar, the hot and humid season corresponds to the months of October to March, with November, December and January being the rainiest.
The hot and dry season corresponds to the remaining months. But keep in mind that March to June is when it is hottest, and it is not usually the best time to travel to Singapore.
The monsoon
In Singapore there is also the monsoon season, despite having a fairly uniform climate throughout the year.
There are two mozones, the Northeast and that of South-west.
During the Northeast monsoon, which runs from early November to March, the wettest months are those I mentioned above, November, December and January.
And the Southwest monsoon goes from June to September and there isn’t that much rain.

When to travel to Singapore
Well, as you have seen, although there are differences between the two stations, it is not excessive. I think without a doubt, the time of year to avoid is from March to June, because the heat, along with the humidity, may not be very pleasant.

Thus, the months where in principle it rains less, but they are not so hot, which goes from June to October, would be the best time of the year to travel to Singapore.
What to put in the backpack
Tropical climate, do not forget it, so you will have to take it into account when choosing specific clothes to enjoy Singapore, and that no unforeseen weather spoil your trip.
As it is very hot and humidity is high, you should wear light, fine clothing made of natural fiber. Come on, short sleeve shirts and shorts.
Don’t forget to bring an umbrella or a raincoat either, for when those heavy rains come that don’t last long, but they get wet that you can’t see.
And finally, although it is very hot outside, remember that in Singapore, as in the surrounding countries, they are addicted to air conditioning, and the contrast is brutal. So, bring a pair of sweatshirts to wear when you go on public transport or inside the premises.
Other tips
You should not worry about the rains. There are plenty of indoor places to visit in Singapore, so if it starts to rain, open your umbrella or put on your rain jacket and enjoy the indoors.
The heat is not an impediment for you to walk and wander through a city as intense as Singapore.
