What's the Weather like in Singapore in July
Temperature
The southwest monsoon season continues into July in Singapore, with steady rainfall amounts. The temperatures haven't budged from the previous several months, with an average daily temperature sitting at 27°C (about 81°F), compared to August, which has an average temperature of around 27°C (about 81°F).
If you don't mind dodging a few afternoon and evening thunderstorms, this is a great time of the year to visit, with lots to see and do. Don't worry about getting stuck in the rain; the city-state has a fantastic public transportation system to get people around and stay dry in the process.
Even the highs and lows remain the same as the previous few months. The low temperature drops down to 24°C (around 75°F) in the evening hours and early morning. Unless you have a low cold tolerance, you won't need a jacket when out and about at night.
In the heat of the day, the temperatures jump up to 31°C (about 88°F). The winds blow in from the south, bringing along humidity and smog from nearby Indonesia.
Average Sunshine Hours
Like nearby Malaysia, the island of Singapore gets around 8 hours of sunshine each day. On any given day, there is a 40% chance of rain and an 80% chance of clouds. Bring along the sunglasses and the high-SPF sunscreen; the high UV index can cause nasty sunburns even on the cloudiest days.
Rainfall
You can expect around 150 mm of rainfall this month, coming over 19 days. An umbrella or poncho is a good idea to stay dry as you travel in between the awesome restaurants, attractions, and shopping that make the area great.
Average Sea Temperature
The average sea temperature this time of the year is 30°C (about 86°F), plenty warm for swimming, trying water sports and spending time on the beach.
