When is the best time to visit Singapore?

According to Rrrjewelry, the best time to travel to Singapore is in March, April, May, June, July, August and September . You can expect temperatures with maximum values ​​of up to 32 degrees Celsius and an average of 6 hours of sunshine per day. The lowest values ​​are 24-25 degrees Celsius. You should therefore be prepared for very hot days in Singapore. But with the right clothes, sunscreen and sunglasses, that’s not a problem. In addition, it should be said that Singapore is a travel destination for the whole year. In the German winter months you can expect the northeast monsoon, which brings a lot of rain, but you can also spend a wonderful holiday in Singapore at this time. The temperatures fluctuate around 30 degrees Celsius and are still very high. With only 4 hours of sunshine per day, you can expect cloudy days than in the summer months. In return, the prices drop and you can get hold of a bargain or two. If you have an umbrella with you, you can survive the short rain showers well. If it rains for a longer period of time in one day, I have put together a few activities for you that are fun even in rainy weather. If you want to swim in the sea, you’re in luck – you can swim in Singapore all year round. Due to the hot average temperatures, the sea water remains at a constant 27 degrees Celsius. It’s not really refreshing, but raging in the waves is still fun.

Rain on vacation is often a nuisance. But why you shouldn’t let your mood spoil and what you can do during a rainy day in Singapore, I’ll show you now. Note that a rainy day in Singapore is not synonymous with a rainy day in Germany. In Singapore there are brief, heavy showers, while in Germany it rains more frequently and does not stop all day. Below you will find 3 tips on how to spend a day during the rainy season in Singapore.

Shopping

Go in search of the best bargains and get the souvenirs for your loved ones at home. You can hang around for hours in the shopping malls of Singapore while the rain is forgotten. The best shopping opportunities for a small budget can be found in Arab Street, for example . Here, neat shops invite you to browse. Since Arab Street is not covered, you should think of your umbrella. If you are looking for the most delicious food, you can buy one or two delicacies at the Wet Market in China Town . If you have a bigger shopping budget, you can stroll down Orchard Road and flatten your nose at the countless shop windows.

Visit to the “National Museum of Singapore”

Would you like to get to know the history of Singapore? Then a visit to the National Museum of Singapore is a good idea. As an adult, you pay the equivalent of around € 9, depending on the exchange rate, and can spend the whole day in the museum. As you wander through Singapore’s past, you will discover a wide variety of artifacts from ancient times. The permanent exhibitions include, for example, the Old Tree , a photo series about trees in Singapore and the Singapore History Gallery. The history of the city from a crown colony to today’s Singapore is presented in the history gallery. There are also changing exhibitions, so it’s best to find out what there is to discover in advance. But believe me, once you have arrived at the museum, time flies by in no time.

How about a visit to the Singapore Aquarium? The aquarium is one of the largest in the world. Look forward to 100,000 marine animals from 800 different species. The aquarium is located on Sentosa at Resorts World Sentosa. Here you can experience an exciting excursion on rainy days and dive into the underwater world in the large open ocean pool. Sit in front of one of the huge pools and lose yourself in the countless fish that scurry around. An experience for young and old when you wander through the blue areas and meet the most incredible animals such as the bow-forehead hammerhead or silver tip shark. It’s best to come to the aquarium at around 10:00 a.m. If you are one of the few visitors in the morning, the atmosphere is even more impressive. The silence and the gracefully moving animals – indescribable.

Conclusion
