March, light winds and occasional showers characterize this transition.

April is a relatively hot month, but the light winds and occasional Sumatra Squalls bring relief. Let the sea breezes and thundery showers in the afternoon keep you refreshed.

May continues the pattern with light and variable winds.

By June, scattered showers and hazy moments add to the enchantment.

July is relatively dry, but expect some rain. The weather continues the June trend.

August hits the peak of the Southwest Monsoon. Southerly breezes and familiar June and July patterns continue, making it an ideal time for exploration.

September bids adieu to the Southwest Monsoon, with slightly weaker winds and an uptick in afternoon showers

October introduces the second Inter-monsoon Period, hinting at the upcoming rainy season. Thundery showers become more frequent.

November, the second wettest month, may surprise you with light winds and the occasional monsoon rain.

December, the wettest month, brings heavy thunderstorms and northeasterly monsoon winds. Embrace the rain, and you might catch the festive magic of the season.

Remember, every month in Singapore has its unique charm. So, whether you're a rain lover or a sunshine seeker, Singapore awaits with open arms. Happy travels!
