Has the climate in Singapore changed?

Singapore has warmed about 0.9°F between 1991 and 2024.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Singapore's official daily weather records, 1991–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Singapore's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities across Asia.

What has actually changed

Each card compares the 1970s (the first ten years of the record) with recent years (the last ten) — the same span the headline and the chart use.

Each bar is one year. Most recent years sit above the older ones. Some recent years still came in cool — warming is a slope, not a straight climb.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 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.
