Singapore in May

The cultural melting pot that is Singapore has a tropical rainforest climate with very little distinction between seasons. Humidity is high, rainfall common, and temperatures invariably range from 23 to 32 °C (73 to 90 °F) the whole year round. March to August is drier than the rest of the year, though it still sees its fair share of rain, with a southwest monsoon from June to August bringing up to 80 mm per month, considerably less intense than the northeast monsoon that comes later. However, as a city-state rain is rarely a major issue in Singapore, with the nation’s uniquely diverse cuisine, culture, and commerce a strong draw for people the world over. The summer occasionally sees a slight haze in the air due to intense bush fires in neighboring Indonesia.

Recommended Festivals & Events For Singapore in May

Singapore Arts Festival

Singapore Arts Festival

Singapore May-June

Singaporean theaters become packed, playing host to the country's national arts festival. Expect a mix of local and international acts; some world-renowned and some that are just starting out. In the line-up you'll find visual arts, dance, theater and music - all promoting the island’s rich and diverse culture.

Vesak Day

Vesak Day

Vesak Day is the most important day in the Buddhist calendar, marking the birth of the Buddha. It is no surprise, then, that Singapore’s vast Buddhist community drops everything in order to pay their respects at local temples. Other activities include candlelight processions, statue bathing and releasing caged animals back into the wild.
