Singapore Tour

Singapore is an attractive destination all year round thanks to its warm, tropical climate. Temperatures range between 25 and 32 degrees almost all year round. Although there is a chance of a brief shower in every month, there are differences in rainfall and humidity.

Dry season (February – April): This is often considered the most pleasant time to travel. There is relatively little rain, the humidity is slightly lower and there are plenty of sunny days. Ideal for exploring the city, strolling through Gardens by the Bay and relaxing on Sentosa Island.

Warm season (May – August): Temperatures remain high and the weather is mostly sunny. Occasionally, there is a refreshing tropical shower. An excellent time to enjoy the city’s many sights, rooftop bars and culinary highlights.

Wetter period (September – January): During these months, the chance of rain increases, particularly in the form of short but heavy tropical downpours. November and December are generally the wettest months. The rain often falls in the afternoon or evening, meaning that sightseeing during the day usually remains perfectly possible.

Singapore is a destination that is well worth visiting all year round. Thanks to its excellent infrastructure and numerous indoor attractions, rain showers have little impact on your travel experience. For the most comfortable conditions, February to April are often the best months, but Singapore also offers plenty of opportunities for a successful city break during the rest of the year.
