What is the best time to visit Singapore?

Singapore is hot and humid throughout the year, making it a year-round destination. However, December to June is the best time to visit Singapore. February to April is the dry season with lesser rainfall and humidity and more sunshine than other times of the year. If looking to visit beaches and Sentosa Island, the best time to visit is between June and August. For the shopaholic, the ideal time to visit Singapore is between July and August, which is when the Great Singapore Sale is organized.

July to September is the wet season in Singapore. Despite being part of the wet season, these months might still be suitable for a visit, as rains are often sporadic and don't typically last the entire day. Prices might be lower during this period, and there are usually fewer tourists. October to November might see heavier rainfall, but it's still manageable for travelers. However, occasional showers might impact outdoor plans.
