A true-blue tourist destination, Singapore is a unique amalgamation of Nature’s majestic beauty and the grandeur of man-made structures. Home to a plethora of amusement parks, zoos, nature conservatories and other unique attractions, the island city is never short of things to do or places to explore. Being a melting pot of various cultures, especially Chinese, Malay and Indian, Singapore offers a splendid food culture ranging from Michelin-star restaurants to street hawkers. Marking the onset of Singapore’s tourist season and the southwest monsoon, June is one of the best months to visit the city, before the showers and escalation of tourist influx.
What makes Singapore in June Special?
- Special offerings: Being the holiday season as schools are closed, Singapore and its attractions organise lucrative events, discounts, exhibitions etc, to entice locals and tourists alike. The great Singapore sale, Ultra Singapore and Rainforest Lumina at the Singapore Zoo are perfect examples.
- Start of the peak season: Summer months tend to be more crowded in Singapore, however, June is just the start of the season. So, you will find a decent number of tourists but not too many. This gives you a chance to explore attractions and offerings before hoards of tourists arrive.
- Start of the southwest monsoon season: Quite similar to the peak season phenomenon, Singapore does experience heat, humidity, rain and thunder during June, but the amount is quite average in terms of the rest of the season. This makes June a great time to visit Singapore before the heat or rain becomes a hindrance to your exploratory adventures.
