Today's briefing

It's a steamy 31 degrees right now, though it feels more like 36 with the humidity, and you'll want to keep an umbrella close today as there's a 98% chance of rain throughout the island. Conditions won't ease much, with a high of 32 degrees and a low of 24 degrees expected, so it's textbook wet season weather for Singapore. Grab a lightweight, quick-dry shirt and leave the heavy layers at home, but definitely stash a compact brolly in your bag or backpack. The weekend won't bring much relief either, with Saturday topping out at 30 degrees and an 81% chance of showers, followed by Sunday reaching 29 degrees and 78% rain probability.

Singapore weather, explained

How to read the Singapore forecast

Singapore weather runs on a different clock to temperate cities. The morning is almost always the driest and clearest part of the day. By noon the heat builds, and between 2pm and 6pm the convective energy triggers the thunderstorms that account for much of the city-state's rainfall. The hourly strip is therefore more useful here than elsewhere: it tells you whether the storm is early, late or skipping today entirely. The seven-day outlook is reliable at the two to three day range; beyond that, Singapore's equatorial position makes precision forecasting harder.

Singapore weather and the two monsoons

Singapore does not have four seasons but it does have two distinct monsoon seasons. The north-east monsoon runs roughly from December to March, bringing more prolonged rain and slightly cooler overnight temperatures. The south-west monsoon covers June to September and is generally drier, but carries the risk of haze from land-clearing fires on Sumatra and Borneo. Between the two monsoons, in April-May and October-November, intense afternoon thunderstorms and Sumatra squalls are at their most frequent. The practical result is that carrying a compact umbrella is sensible year-round.

UV and heat in Singapore

Singapore sits just one degree north of the equator, which means the sun passes almost directly overhead around the solstices. The UV index regularly reaches 12 or above between 11am and 2pm on clear days — the highest category on the WHO scale. Skin can burn in under eight minutes without protection. The heat index, which combines temperature and humidity, often exceeds 40°C in the afternoon even when the air temperature is 'only' 33°C. Plan any sustained outdoor activity for before 9am or after 5pm, drink water constantly, and take shade breaks seriously.
