Singapore month by month
Average rainfall and the number of days with at least 1 mm of rain, 2006–2025. On this page a month counts as wet when it gets more rain than an average month in that place (more than a twelfth of its year), and dry when it gets less than half an average month. The months in between are the shoulder.

Singapore is wet in Mar, Oct–Jan and shoulder in Feb, Apr–Sep. In this record February sits inside Singapore’s wet run and is 38% drier than the months either side of it.
The wettest stretch runs from November into January, then February falls away sharply before March picks up again, which makes February the month to aim for on rain alone. It still rains on 14 rain days in February: rain is part of every month here.

How these numbers are made
Daily rainfall and temperature from NASA POWER (MERRA-2), averaged over 2006–2025; a rain day is a day with at least 1 mm. POWER works on a grid of about 50 km, so each place here is its neighbourhood rather than its own rain gauge: a coast, a small island or a valley under a mountain can differ from the square it sits in. The months are the part that holds; treat a single millimetre figure as an average, not a forecast.
