Singapore doesn’t experience traditional four seasons unlike many other countries - we just experience weathers that are wet, hot or very hot! Thankfully, the July heat will taper off by September, creating beautiful balmy breezes that you can enjoy while walking around the city state. Here are five reasons why Singapore is a great place to experience this Autumn. 

1) Cooler and less humid

The weather in Singapore is cooler and less humid as September rolls around. As such, you can expect pleasant weather this time of the month, making it more comfortable to explore the city. Enjoy outdoor activities, sightseeing and generally enjoy your walk around the city without feeling overwhelmed by the heat.

2) Exciting festivals and events

Singapore is bustling with exciting festivals and events. Here are two of the main highlights you can expect this Autumn.

Singapore Lantern Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival has its roots in ancient Chinese mythology and folklore, and it is closely associated with the harvest season and the full moon. You can expect dragon and lion dances, eating sweet mooncakes, and enjoy hung and lit up during the festival, especially at night.

Experience the magic of the Mid-Autumn Festival at Gardens by the Bay where you can indulge in a breathtaking display of lanterns and lights. Bring your family and friends, and create memories that will glow in your heart for years to come.

The Singapore Grand Prix takes place annually in Singapore, attracting a vibrant and lively crowd. It’s the only full night race that takes place on the streets of Singapore, and it’s not uncommon to hear the roar of those engines rumbling through the Singaporean night sky! Expect exciting concerts, glamour and glitz as the race is a highlight on the social calendar, attracting celebrities, business leaders, and motorsport enthusiasts from around the world.

4) It’s a great weather for outdoor activities

Singapore is a beautiful and green city that is home to some of the most beautiful gardens in the world. With the cooling temperatures, it’s the perfect time to explore places such as Singapore Botanic Gardens (the first UNESCO Heritage Site in Singapore that predates Gardens by The Bay). Entrance is free, but you can have the option to visit the National Orchid Gardens at a small fee and cool off the air-conditioned sanctuary.
