Singapore sits 137km north of the equator, producing a consistently hot and humid tropical rainforest climate year-round. Daily temperatures range from 25°C to 31°C every month, with humidity averaging 80 per cent. Rain falls throughout the year, with the wettest months from November to January during the northeast monsoon. Afternoon thunderstorms are common and typically pass within an hour, so mornings are the best time for outdoor activities. February to April is slightly drier and is the best window for visiting, though Singapore remains a year-round destination with excellent indoor infrastructure. The southwest monsoon (June to September) brings Sumatra squalls: early-morning thunderstorms that clear by mid-morning.
