Climate
Singapore's weather is uniformly warm and humid, experiencing year-round showers. The country is situated only 1.5 degrees north of the Equator, meaning that Singapore experiences no distinct seasons, only noticeably more rainfall during November to January.
Average daytime temperature is approximately 86ºF (30ºC), falling to 74ºF (23ºC) in the evening.
Singapore's lack of wind and high temperature and humidity can come as a shock to visitors used to cooler climates. Unsurprisingly, air conditioners are commonplace throughout the island; Singapore's founder Lee Kuan Yew himself famously declared the air conditioner as one of mankind's greatest inventions. Do as the locals do, and avoid walking too long in the outdoors if you can - the air conditioners are there for a reason!
