What's the Weather Like in Singapore in April
April in Singapore means more of the same hot and humid temperatures and steady rainfall. This month sits between the two monsoon seasons and is a great time to visit and see the awesome sights of the island. Even if it does rain while you're there, you can spend an afternoon in a quaint café or shopping till you drop at a local retailer.
Temperature
The average daily temperature sits at 27°C (around 81°F), a great temperature for spending time outdoors, compared to May, which has an average temperature of around 27°C (around 81°F). At the peak of the day, the temperatures reach up to a balmy 31°C (about 88°F). Be sure to bring along the short-sleeved shirts and shorts to stay cool during the warm afternoons.
The winds aren't as strong this time of the year and the humidity is lower, making for comfortable daytimes, even with the higher temperatures. During the evening hours, the lows drop down to 24°C (about 75°F), near perfect temperatures for sipping on drinks outside or eating a delicious meal on a restaurant patio.
Rainfall
The rainfall comes over 20 days in the month, so you'll more than likely have more rainy days during your stay than you'll have sunny ones. Around 166 mm of rain falls during the month and the chance of rain on any given day is 40 percent, so pack the umbrella! You'll also want a high-SPF sunscreen even with all the rain. The UV index is high in this part of Southeast Asia and you can easily get a sunburn on a cloudy day.
Average Sunshine Hours
You can expect around eight hours of sunshine each day, so in between rain drops be sure to take advantage of the long days and get outside. Spend some of that time hanging out next to the pool, or head down to the shore and get in some beach time.
Average Sea Temperature
The average sea temperature during this time of the year is 30°C (around 86°F), feeling almost as warm as bath water.
