Hello, this is Mido from the Michin Doyaji YouTube channel! 😊 Yesterday, where I am in Singapore, it suddenly rained in the morning, and then the sky cleared up in the afternoon as if nothing happened. It really showed the characteristic features of a tropical climate and the typical pattern of a squall, didn't it? Today, the clear sky continues without a single cloud, so I feel truly refreshed starting the day! This kind of weather is perfect for outdoor activities and sightseeing, and I'm confident it will be a perfect day to enjoy the magnificent views of Marina Bay. ✨
Hourly Sky Conditions: A Blend of Sun and Clouds 🌥️
Let's take a closer look at the hourly sky conditions for the Marina Bay area in Singapore on June 4, 2025. I analyze the weather based on the Marina Bay Sands area because most tourists visit this location, and it's an iconic landmark of Singapore with many tourist attractions. That's why accurate weather information is so crucial, right?
- 8:00 AM: At 8 AM, the start of the day, cloudy conditions are expected, providing some protection from UV rays.
- 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM: During these hours, a harmonious blend of sun and clouds is anticipated, making it suitable for outdoor activities. However, high UV index is expected, so proper sun protection is essential!
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: The moment we've been waiting for! Clear skies are forecast, offering optimal conditions for enjoying the golden sunset. Perfect for taking photos! 📸
- 8:00 PM: A low probability of rain, about 15%, is expected, but it's a good idea to carry an umbrella just in case.
- 9:00 PM - 12:00 AM: The forecast predicts a sky where the moon and stars are visible, gradually becoming partly cloudy.
Weather forecasts are probability-based, so actual conditions may differ. Especially in tropical climates, sudden weather changes are common, so always be aware!
Rainfall Analysis: Your Umbrella is a Must-Have! ☔
Singapore's rainfall can be quite unpredictable. Yesterday, the predicted rainfall was 6mm, but there wasn't a single drop of rain! That's the charm and unpredictability of a tropical climate, isn't it? 😂
| Time | Rain Probability | Affected Area | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12:00 PM | Slight chance of rain | Northern areas | Be prepared for sudden showers |
| 2:00 PM | Moderate to high chance of rain | Northern areas | Umbrella essential, consider indoor activities |
| 4:00 PM | Moderate to high chance of rain | Nationwide | Beware of squalls, seek indoor shelter |
| 5:00 PM | Moderate to high chance of rain | Eastern areas | Umbrella essential when traveling east |
Today's expected rainfall is 7mm, which is considered 'light rain'. With an umbrella, your daily activities shouldn't be significantly impacted. However, considering the 1-month average of 175mm and last year's average of 197mm for the same period, recent rainfall shows a decreasing trend. This is a typical characteristic for the current period, just before the rainy season begins. 🌂
Tropical squalls can be short but intense. The weather might change suddenly compared to the forecast, so it's always good to carry an umbrella or a light raincoat.
Temperature and Humidity: Smart Ways to Beat the Heat 🌡️
Singapore's heat is truly something, isn't it? Today's maximum temperature is expected to be 31℃, which is the same as the annual average maximum temperature. But what's important is the "feels like" temperature!
⏰ Hourly Temperature & Humidity 📈
- Morning (Min 27℃): You can expect a relatively pleasant morning.
- 3:00 PM (Max 31℃): The heat is expected to peak, so indoor activities are recommended at this time.
- Evening (29℃): The temperature will gradually decrease, allowing for a relatively comfortable evening.
"Feels Like" Temperature: Expected to be a minimum of 30℃ in the morning, a maximum of 32℃ at 6 PM, and a minimum of 30℃ in the evening, feeling 2-3 degrees higher than the actual temperature.
- Humidity: Expected to reach a maximum of 87% in the morning, a minimum of 69% at 4 PM, and a maximum of 79% in the evening, indicating generally high humidity.
High humidity can cause discomfort and make you feel hotter. So, staying well-hydrated and taking proper breaks are really important. Special care is needed for the elderly and children, as they can be more vulnerable to the heat. 🥤
Wind: A Refreshing Breeze to Ease the Heat 🍃
Singapore's wind is expected to show a quite dynamic pattern today. It's almost like the vibrant city atmosphere of Singapore, wouldn't you say? 🌬️
- Morning: A relatively light south wind with a speed of 3 m/s will bring a refreshing start to the day.
- Lunchtime: The wind speed will intensify to 12 m/s, blowing from the south-southwest. This will be the strongest wind of the day.
- Afternoon: The south-southwest wind will continue at 11 m/s, gradually weakening to a south wind of 9 m/s in the evening.
This wind corresponds to Beaufort Force 3, or a 'gentle breeze'. Leaves and small twigs will be in constant motion, and flags will flutter lightly. Most people will find it cool and refreshing. It's especially expected to significantly alleviate the discomfort caused by high humidity, so it's a welcome breeze! 😊
Heat Index and UV: Enjoying Safely in the Sun ☀️
Today's heat index and UV index are crucial indicators to check when planning outdoor activities. Let's look at these figures to enjoy Singapore safely and healthily! 💪
Heat Index Change 📈
- Morning: Starting at 29.8℃
- Afternoon: Rising to 33.2℃, entering the 'Very High' category
- Evening: Dropping to 31.6℃
The significant difference between actual and "feels like" temperature is due to high humidity and strong insolation. Especially in the afternoon, there's a high risk of heatstroke or dehydration, so caution is advised.
UV Index 🌞
- 12:00 PM: Expected to reach a maximum of 8, which is a 'Very High' level, posing a very high risk of skin damage.
- Skin Damage Risk: At this level, sunburn can occur in just 15-25 minutes.
⚠️ Essential Precautions!
- Stay well-hydrated 💧
- Reapply SPF50+ sunscreen every 2 hours 🧴
- Wear a hat and sunglasses 🧢🕶️
- Stay in the shade as much as possible 🌳
- Avoid direct sunlight between 10 AM and 4 PM 🙅♀️
Especially for the elderly, children, and pregnant women, it's advisable to avoid outdoor activities in the afternoon.
Golden Hour and Sunset: Marina Bay's Golden Moment 🌇
One of the highlights of a trip to Singapore is definitely the beautiful sunset! Today's golden hour and sunset are moments you absolutely shouldn't miss. 🌅
- Golden Hour: Lasts for a total of 47 minutes, from 6:21 PM to 7:08 PM. During this time, the entire city will be bathed in a golden glow. ✨
- Sunset: Begins at 7:08 PM.
- Blue Hour: Following sunset, it continues for 30 minutes from 7:18 PM to 7:48 PM. This period is truly the best for admiring Marina Bay's night view. 💙
During these hours, the chance of rain is very low, and clear skies are expected, making it the perfect condition to enjoy Marina Bay's beautiful sunset. The golden sky blending with the silhouettes created by Marina Bay Sands Hotel and the surrounding high-rise buildings will create an unforgettable scene. Make sure to bring your camera! 📸
Conclusion: Enjoy Singapore's Weather Wisely! 📝
After comprehensively analyzing today's weather in Singapore, it's clear that typical hot Singaporean weather is expected. Please remember that the maximum temperature of 31℃ and high humidity might make the "feels like" temperature even higher, and there's a chance of scattered rain in the afternoon.
Although it's not currently the rainy season, due to the nature of a tropical climate, sudden weather changes can occur, so always carry an umbrella! The UV index is very high, so extreme caution is needed during outdoor activities. With the heat index and discomfort index also expected to be high, sufficient hydration and adequate rest are essential when outdoors. While the southerly winds are expected to slightly lower the "feels like" temperature, it's best to stay in the shade to avoid the strong midday UV rays.
Each weather element is closely interconnected; in particular, the combination of high humidity and temperature significantly increases the "feels like" temperature. We recommend that travelers consider these weather characteristics when planning their activities, and it's especially wise to schedule indoor activities for the afternoon. Let's enjoy Singapore's beautiful weather wisely! 😊
