April Weather in Singapore
Situated near the Equator, Singapore has a tropical climate. The city-state is hot and humid throughout the year.
Singaporeans like to joke that their country has three seasons: hot, hotter, and hottest, and March, April, and May are the hottest months.
The average daily high in April is 32 degrees Celsius, or 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and the average daily low is 78 degrees Celsius, or 26 degrees Celsius.
In terms of rainfall, there is an average of 11 rainy days in April. Keep in mind, however, that it doesn’t usually rain all day. You can always take refuse in an air-conditioned shopping mall until a cloudburst passes.
