Singapore is a country that has only one season and that is summer. On this page you can check out today’s weather and temperature. You can also access a ten day forecast for Singapore. Located in the tropical region, just 1.5 degrees north of the Equator, it does not have the four seasons that countries in Northern and Southern Hemisphere have.

Its climate is sunny, and mostly hot and humid with more rainfall during the monsoon season, which from November to January. Even though with more rainfall during the monsoon season, there is still a fair share of sunshine during this period. All you need is to carry a small folder umbrella along in case of the passing shower.

The temperature averages around:

• 26°C (79°F) daytime, 24°C (76°F) at night in December and January
• 31°C (89°F) daytime, 26°C (80°F) at night for the rest of the year.

The high temperature and humidity, combined with the lack of wind and the fact that temperatures stay high during the night, can take its toll on visitors from colder parts of the world. Bear in mind that spending more than about one hour outdoors can be very exhausting, especially if combined with moderate exercise.

Singaporeans themselves shun the heat, and for a good reason. Many live in air-conditioned flats, work in air-conditioned offices, take the air-conditioned metro to air-conditioned shopping malls connected to each other by underground tunnels where they shop, eat, and exercise in air-conditioned fitness clubs. Follow their example if you want to avoid discomfort.
