APRIL

Whats the Weather Like in Singapore in April

• April in Singapore means more of the same hot and humid temperatures and steady rainfall. This month sits between the two monsoon seasons and is a great time to visit and see the awesome sights of the island. Even if it does rain while you are there, you can spend an afternoon in a quaint café or shopping till you drop at a local retailer. 

Temperature

• The average daily temperature sits at 27°C (around 81°F), a great temperature for spending time outdoors, compared to May, which has an average temperature of around 27°C (around 81°F). At the peak of the day, the temperatures reach up to a balmy 31°C (about 88°F). Be sure to bring along the short-sleeved shirts and shorts to stay cool during the warm afternoons.
