Climate

For the most part, Singapore remains hot and humid throughout the year, with tropical temperatures rarely dipping lower than 20°C. From the beginning of November until mid-March, the north east monsoon brings cooler temperatures, whilst daily showers can last for long periods of time and can be heavy. The south west monsoon (June to September) brings higher temperatures, but the least amount of rainfall. Whenever you explore beguiling Singapore, we advise that you carry a bottle of water for hydration as well as an umbrella, whilst a light cover up may be useful for when you check out the sleek, air-conditioned shopping malls.

If your cultural cravings still aren’t satisfied, Singapore is home to a huge variety of intriguing and informative museums and galleries; the oldest, The National Museum, houses fascinating, historical Singapore treasures, while Singapore Art Museum showcases a selection of contemporary Asian artwork.

Food in Singapore, as in much of Asia, is a national pastime and, with such a wealth of dining options to discover, you certainly won't go hungry. The riverside quays feature an eclectic mix of restaurants and alfresco dining, whilst the multi-cultural districts – such as Chinatown and Little India – offer truly authentic and utterly delicious food of their nations. For fine dining, Mandarin Oriental, Singapore offers an exquisite choice of Italian, Cantonese, American Steakhouse and Japanese cuisine, whilst Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore’s selection of world-class, award-winning, restaurants includes Shang Palace, which boasts an illustrious 45-year history and showcases authentic Cantonese cuisine.

Another unforgettable day out, Singapore Zoo comprises 26 stunning hectares of spacious, naturalistic enclosures that house some cheeky, charming and fascinating animals – including orangutans, Malaysian Flying Foxes and White Tigers. Not only this, the zoo is home to the fun-filled Rainforest Kidszworld – a wonderland of slides, swings, pony rides and farmyard animals.
