April trade-offs

  • ↓Heavy inter-monsoon rainfall: 188mm with daily afternoon thunderstorms limits outdoor flexibility
  • ↓The hottest and most humid months of the year arrive in April — 33°C with 84% humidity is notable even for Singapore
  • ↓No major festivals or events to drive atmosphere; the city is doing its normal thing, which is efficient and pleasant but not energised

February trade-offs

  • ↓If Chinese New Year falls in February, hotel demand spikes significantly for the festival week — plan and book early
  • ↓Still hot and humid by any non-tropical standard: 31°C with 83% humidity is the baseline regardless of month
  • ↓Prices reflect February's reputation as a good month — not the cheapest window
