Best Time To Visit Singapore > Weather, Temperature & Season

What is the best time to visit Singapore?

February to September is the best time to visit Singapore, and February is the driest month of the year. There is no bad month here, only wetter ones.

Temperature is never the question. Singapore sits between 24°C and 32°C in every month, so what actually separates the months is rainfall, haze, crowds and the events calendar.

November to January is the northeast monsoon and the wettest stretch, with December the wettest month by a clear margin. It is also the most festive and the most expensive.

July to October carries the haze risk from fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan. It does not happen every year, but it is an air-quality problem rather than a rain problem, so it can land in an otherwise dry month.

Singapore Weather in January and February

February is the driest month of the year, and January is still the tail of the northeast monsoon, roughly twice as wet. Both sit at the usual 24°C to 32°C.

February is the best single month to come. It is also the busiest cultural stretch: Chinese New Year, the Chingay Parade and Thaipusam all fall in January or February, along with St Jerome’s Laneway Festival. Rates rise with them.

Singapore Weather in March and April

March and April are the inter-monsoon months, with frequent short afternoon thunderstorms rather than the all-day rain of December. Both are wetter than February and well short of December.

Both are good sightseeing months if you plan outdoors for the morning. The Singapore International Jazz Festival is in March and the Affordable Art Fair in April.

Singapore Weather in May and June

May and June are among the warmest months, and June is one of the drier ones. Afternoons are heavy, so most people move sightseeing to the evening.

June is Indian school-holiday season, so flights and hotels are at a second peak. Vesak Day falls in May and The Great Singapore Sale runs from June.

Singapore Weather in July and August

July and August are moderate on rain but this is when the haze can arrive, blown across from fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan. It does not happen every year and it clears in days, but check the air-quality index before booking outdoor days.

Singapore Food Festival is in July. August brings National Day on the 9th, the Hungry Ghost Festival and Beerfest Asia.

Singapore Weather in September and October

September is the second driest month of the year and the most underrated time to come. October is wetter as the pre-monsoon showers build.

September carries the Formula 1 night race, which fills the city and doubles Marina Bay rates for that week. The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival and Navratri in Little India also fall now.

Singapore Weather in November and December

December is the wettest month of the year and November the second, roughly three times February’s rain. This is the northeast monsoon: showers are heavier and skies stay grey for longer.

It is also the most festive and the priciest. Orchard Road and Marina Bay go up in lights, ZoukOut runs at Siloso Beach, and Deepavali and the Thimithi fire-walking at Sri Mariamman Temple fall in October or November. Keep the museums and art galleries for the wet afternoons.
