Winter in Singapore

Winter in Singapore typically falls from December to February, when the temperatures hover around 28°C to 32°C. The Lion City receives an average rainfall of 200 m during this time. The gentle sun and breezy days during this season make Singapore the perfect destination for escaping frigid winters or snowfall! December through January is also peppered with Christmas and New Year-themed events, live gigs, and sales. However, beware that this is the peak tourist season, yielding high tourist footfall and escalated prices for stay and sightseeing.
