Weather extremes

How extreme does Singapore's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Singapore has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 26 years of daily weather observations (1999–present), from the Paya Lebar station 10 km away. Updated through August 2025 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.

The four kinds of extreme

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Singapore has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
97°F May 25, 2000

That is about 6°F hotter than a normal May afternoon in Singapore (typical high near 91°F).

❄️ Coldest night
70°F Jun 15, 2001

About 10°F colder than a normal June night in Singapore (typical low near 80°F).

How hot and cold it gets, month by month

The shaded band is the normal range of daily temperatures for each month. The dots show the most extreme it has ever been — so you can see how far beyond a normal day the records really sit.

Singapore's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — May's 97°F is about 6°F beyond a normal hot afternoon. Its record cold is just as far below a normal winter night — the dots mark how rare each extreme really is.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Singapore's warmest days reach the low 90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the high 70s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 97°F and as low as 70°F. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
Methodology & sources

Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Singapore Changi Intl, a weather station, about 17 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
