Singapore in September
September is one of the best times to visit Singapore.
Great time
High season
Singapore. September. The transition from the Southwest Monsoon brings a slight increase in rainfall. Afternoon thunderstorms are a near-daily feature. The Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix in late September transforms Marina Bay into the world's only night-race circuit — the spectacle is extraordinary but hotels fill months in advance and command enormous price premiums. Weather is hot and humid but fully manageable; race-week evenings under the floodlights are unforgettable.

The F1 night race fills the city; hotels near Marina Bay are scarce and pricey. Usually September.
