Overview
Singapore has a tropical rainforest climate with no distinct seasons. Year-round temperatures range from 24°C to 32°C, with high humidity and abundant rainfall.
Located just north of the equator (1.3°N), Singapore experiences relatively uniform weather throughout the year, with two main monsoon seasons affecting rainfall patterns.
Northeast Monsoon
December to March
The wetter of the two monsoon periods. Brings steady rainfall, especially in December and January. Cooler nights with temperatures occasionally dropping to 23°C.
Southwest Monsoon
June to September
Generally drier with less rainfall. Morning showers are common, with clearer afternoons. This period may bring Sumatra squalls in the early morning.
Inter-Monsoon (Mar-May)
April to May
Light winds and afternoon thunderstorms. Some of the hottest months with temperatures occasionally exceeding 34°C.
Inter-Monsoon (Oct-Nov)
October to November
Transition period with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. November is typically the wettest month of the year.
