When Should You Visit Singapore? Dry Months and Rainy Days

The drier months, and what to do when it rains.

The best time to visit Singapore is usually February through April, when the dry phase of the Northeast Monsoon meets the inter-monsoon period. Showers can still arrive in any month, so pack for a downpour whichever dates you choose.

What stays the same all year

Singapore stays hot and humid in every month. Plan every day around the heat and the chance of a shower, whichever month you choose.

A rainy day plan

For a wet afternoon, try the civic district museums or the Orchard Road malls. A hotel tea room is another option when the rain sets in.

A hot day plan

Do outdoor stops early, starting with the free parks and lakeside trails. For an evening outside, a rooftop bar is one option.

Matching the month to the trip

Check festival dates, hotel prices and school holidays alongside the weather before you book.

Once the dates are set, a district-by-district Singapore plan turns them into days.
