Best Time to Visit Keat Hong Village #

Singapore is hot and humid year-round; the Northeast Monsoon (December-March) brings more predictable daily rains and cooler breezes. Inter-monsoon periods can produce sudden, intense thunderstorms so have indoor plans ready.

Northeast Monsoon

December - March · 24 - 31 °C (75 - 88 °F)

Regular morning showers and cooler sea breezes make mornings pleasant, though heavy afternoon storms still occur; good for museums and evening hawker visits.

Southwest Monsoon

June - September · 25 - 32 °C (77 - 90 °F)

Hotter, occasionally windier weather with fewer prolonged downpours; outdoor pools and beach trips are workable, but expect humidity and short, heavy thunderstorms.

Inter-monsoon

April - May, October - November · 24 - 33 °C (75 - 91 °F)

Unpredictable, often intense thunderstorms develop quickly; best to plan indoor alternatives and expect brief torrential rain, then rapid clearing and humidity remains high.
