A Guide to Visiting Singapore in May | Attractions, Events, Weather & More

Singapore may be physically small, but it is an economic giant. It is the region's financial hub and frequently competes with Hong Kong for the busiest port and busiest airport in the region.

The city effortlessly blends Malay, Arab, Indian and Chinese cultures. It’s no wonder then that Singapore is referred to as a melting pot of cultures with its diverse ethnic tapestry. This diversity manifests itself in its culinary choices and a calendar full of festivals.

Is May a good time to visit Singapore?

You can expect the heat and humidity of April to roll over to May. One significant change would be the haze that comes from the nearby Indonesian island of Sumatra due to the farmers there clearing the land by setting fire to it instead of using excavators to do the job.

Visitors who have respiratory problems should avoid traveling to Singapore in May.
