Singapore weather overview

Singapore is a tiny state at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. It has an equatorial climate with average temperatures in the high 20s Centigrade (low 80s Fahrenheit). High humidity makes conditions steamy and particularly unbearable in March and September when there is hardly any breeze.

Rain can bucket down at any time of the year although it is most likely between November and January when the north-easterly monsoon brings short, sharp, intense showers.

What to pack for Singapore weather

Take just light clothes plus rainwear, and remember that air-conditioning in the airport, taxi and hotel can be chilly, so always have a light jacket or wrap to hand.
