When Is the Best Time To Visit Singapore?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Singapore depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Singapore

Singapore is an all-year-round destination, and the question of when to visit Singapore can be answered depending on whether you want a fun, touristy vacation or just a quiet and peaceful one away from the crowds. Since Singapore is a blend of different cultures and nationalities like Chinese, Malay and Indian, you are guaranteed to find a festive vibe at any place no matter what season you choose to visit Singapore.

The weather of Singapore is sunny most times of the year with a little bit of rainfall, so it will be favorable for sightseeing purposes even if you are traveling with small children. Because of Singapore's proximity to the equator, the temperature ranges between 77°F to 88°F all year. Even if it rains during months of October, November, and December it won't last for the whole day and will only be like that for a few hours. On the other hand, the driest season in Singapore is from March to June, and that is considered the peak tourist season in the country.

Tourist season month by month. Legend

Tourist season - time period with sightseeing-friendly weather (or sunbathing in the case of small island countries) for the average tourist. For countries with a large geographical spread, the most visited places were taken into account and the data were averaged. For selected countries, seasonal holidays were also taken into account, as long as they significantly affect the tourist traffic in this period.

A good time to travel, however, sometimes there can be some weather conditions that make the visit a bit difficult.
