What's the Weather Like in Singapore in March
The official end of the northeast monsoon season, March in Singapore ushers in the beginning of spring with consistently warm temperatures.
Temperature
The average daily temperature remains the same from February, sitting at 27°C (about 81°F), compared to April, which has an average temperature of around 27°C (about 81°F). In between the raindrops, be sure to head outside and soak up the warm weather.
The city-state has so much to offer visitors, from amazing shopping to unusual food options, and this month is a great time of the year to visit.
At night and in the early morning hours, the lows drop down to 24°C (about 75°F), a great temperature for sitting out at a street side bar or café, enjoying a cold drink with friends. In the heat of the day, the highs get up to 31°C (around 88°F), feeling pretty steamy for early spring.
Average Sunshine Hours
Like nearby Malaysia, this area gets about seven hours of sunshine each day, so you can have a full day of exploring. Even though the chance of a cloudy day is 80 percent, you'll still want to have a good pair of sunglasses, as well as a high-SPF sunscreen, as the UV index here is high.
Average Sea Temperature
With average sea temperatures staying around 29°C (around 84°F), you'll want to head down to the beach and spend some time in the sand and water.
Rainfall
The chance of rain on any given day is 40 percent. Over the course of the month, around 174 mm of rain falls, coming over 17 days. Bring along the umbrella or poncho, as well as shoes you don't mind getting wet. Fortunately, you won't get the monsoon rains the first two months of the year saw, but you should expect to have several rainy days during your stay in Southeast Asia.
