The best time to visit Singapore

Singapore’s climate is hot and humid. The average year-round temperatures hover between 23°C and 32°C. Singapore is unique in so many ways, but especially as there are no distinct tourist seasons. However certain events and holidays can increase visitor numbers and inflate the hotel rates. Summer (July to September) is a festive time to visit with unbelievable bargains up for grabs at the Great Singapore Sale. This ten-week shopping extravaganza coincides with the Singapore Food Festival where food-lovers can indulge in all things gourmet. February to April brings scattered showers that can relieve the steamy conditions. Winter (November to January) is the low season, when temperatures drop slightly but chances of intense downpours increase. The flipside to this is cheaper airfares; search Webjet to take advantage of any off-season flights to Singapore and discounted hotels. Singapore hosts its Grand Prix in September, bringing excitement and Formula 1 fans to Singapore. Gear up for lots of off-track special events, but be sure to book your Singapore flights in advance to avoid fare increases. Chinese New Year creates a carnival atmosphere and the city is decorated with dazzling lights and ornaments.
