The climate of Singapore
The city-state (republic) of Singapore is situated just above the equator and has a tropical climate. During the night temperatures hardly ever drop below 24 degrees Celsius. During the day temperatures hardly ever rise above 36 degrees Celsius. Relatively high humidity figures in combination with high temperatures makes things feel muggy and warm. The absence of wind makes things feel even muggier. On most days wind speeds only reach 1 or 2 Beaufort which makes it even harder for the human body to cool down through sweating. You will experience this when you want to practice an outdoor sport during the day. The best chance of a cooling wind can be found along the waterside; for instance in the Singapore Marina and along the beaches of Sentosa Island. During the monsoon period from November till March large quantities of rain may fall and things may get very muggy. Bear this in mind when traveling to Singapore and bring loose (cotton) clothing, waterproof shoes and an umbrella

Air conditioning
Life without air conditioning in Singapore is hardly possible. Because of the air conditioning it is often cool in hotels and malls which makes the contrast with outside temperatures really big. Bear this in mind when you stay inside for longer periods of time.

Cyclones
South-east Asia gets hit by cyclones on a regular basis. However, because of its location cyclones are uncommon in Singapore. Tropical depressions do occur here which can make it wet and grey for days on end. Especially during the end of the year the number of dull days and tropical depressions increase.

More climate information
Climate tables are useful but they don’t give an overall picture of the climate and possible weather conditions during a period of time. How high the chances are of hot or cold weather or hurricanes can often not be found in these tables. This is why we offer extra climate information per month.
