Weather in Singapore

No real seasons: nights rarely below 23-25C, days rarely above 31-33C in any month. Mean humidity around 82%, above 90% in the mornings. Pack for heat and rain whatever the month.

Two monsoons: Northeast Monsoon December to early March, Southwest Monsoon June to September. The wettest stretch is November-January (the NE monsoon's wet phase); February is the driest month.

Rain falls on about 171 days a year and peaks in the afternoon, so morning is the safer slot for outdoor plans. Thunderstorms are most frequent in the inter-monsoon months (April-May and October-November), around 20 days a month at peak.

Named hazards from the met service: monsoon surges with continuous moderate to heavy rain, Sumatra squalls with 40-80 km/h wind gusts, and haze episodes during the Southwest Monsoon period.
