Singapore in August
August is one of the best times to visit Singapore.
Great time
Shoulder season
Singapore. August. The Southwest Monsoon continues its drier pattern. Average temperatures peak at 31–33°C and afternoon thundershowers are a reliable feature, usually clearing by early evening. National Day (9 August) celebrations around Marina Bay include a spectacular aerial display and fireworks — hotels in the area book up for that weekend. Clear evenings make rooftop bars and the bay waterfront wonderful.
