Located just 137 km north of the equator, Singapore is both hot and very humid all year around. Rain is a daily occurrence but tends to fall in short tropical showers during the afternoon. Light summer clothes and an umbrella are recommended. It is also advisable to take a light sweater or jacket for when you venture inside icily air-conditioned malls, offices, restaurants and hotels.
