Singapore - Weather

Singapore Climate

The first thing that visitors – especially those from cooler climes – will notice is the balmy Singaporean air. One degree north of the equator, Singapore has an “equatorial” climate, which means that there is a great deal of humidity, precipitation, and heat throughout the year. Singapore sees an average low temperature of 23 degrees C and an average high of 34 degrees C; so close to the equator, it could be hotter, but the ocean moderates the heat somewhat. Average rainfall is about 2370mm (93 inches). Monsoon season comes twice a year, in December through early March and June to September. Rains then are much heavier, though many showers are not long-lasting. Singapore experiences a weather effect that is unusual in a place of its size: the western part of the island receives more rainfall than the eastern portion. This is called a “rain shadow effect.” Thus, you may have days where it rains in the west but not the east.
