Peak season vs Low season

The period between March and August, which is also Singapore’s dry season, sees relatively less rainfall and the most sunshine. A visit to the Singapore Zoo during the dry season ensures you do not have to worry about Singapore’s infamous rains and sultry weather. That said, you should always be prepared for an occasional downpour and light showers; in short, Singapore’s unpredictable weather.
