Climate

Located right on the equator, Singapore’s climate is relatively uniform all year round, offering a humid climate with regular rainfall right throughout the year. The country experiences two distinct monsoon seasons – One between December to March, and the second between June to September. During this time the weather is wetter, storms are more likely, but flights and accommodation are also cheaper as it’s tourism low season. If you’re wanting to enjoy a more affordable trip to Singapore, this is the time to do it.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

From knowing the best hawker centres for authentic eats to catching the coolest hidden spots around the city, knowing the best local spots to visit add a whole other dimension to your visit to Singapore. Plus, being aware of when and where to visit top attractions can help you beat the crowds and make the most of your time!

• Swap Restaurants for Hawker Centres – If you’re wanting to delve into authentic Singaporean cuisine and save some money on food, swap Singapore’s expensive restaurants or classy cafes for local Hawker Centres. The best way to tell where you’ll find good-quality food is to look for the places that have long queues – Alternatively, look for the coloured placards that display the level of hygiene (with A being the best and D being the worst).

• Send your Visa Application One Month in Advance – While the Singapore Government is fairly efficient at processing Visa Applications, you mustn’t do this one at the last minute. Visa Applications must be submitted at minimum one month in advance if you’re looking to visit the country.

• Bring a Reusable Water Bottle – Unlike many other Asian nations, drinking the water in Singapore is quite safe, with no need to purchase single-use plastic water bottles. There are ample water refill stations around the country to use while you’re out and about, making it easy to access water at all times, plus Singapore has strict rules and regulations around littering of any kind, so best to avoid buying waste in the first place and sticking to reusable instead!

• Book Tickets in Advance – Despite its size, Singapore is a busy island nation – If you’re planning to visit for more than a stopover and you want to experience some of the key attractions, make sure your purchase tickets or book in advance!

• Take Your Time in Changi Airport – Singapore Airport is one of the busiest and most famous airports in the world, and for good reason. The gateway to the rest of the world, millions of international flights connect through Singapore each year, with hundreds of restaurants, bars and places to explore located within the Airport itself (to keep travellers entertained while waiting for connecting flights).
