Pre-departure information

Singapore is situated near the equator and has a typically tropical climate, with abundant rainfall, high and uniform temperatures, and high humidity all year round. Many of its climate variables, such as temperature and relative humidity, do not show large month-to-month variation. 

Temperatures in Singapore are quite uniform, since they only vary by a few degrees between the coolest and the warmest months. The minimum temperature ranges from 23 °C (73 °F) in December and January to 25 °C (77 °F) in May and June, while the maximum ranges from 30 °C (86 °F) in December and January to 32 °C (90 °F) in April and May. 

Important Items to Pack!

• A copy of your important documents like your passport

• Your Gallagher health insurance information

• Change some US Dollars into Singapore Dollars before you arrive or plan to use the airport ATM when you arrive. Take a card that doesn't charge international transaction fees.

• One or more adapters and power converters for 230 volts (if your electronics are not already "dual voltage") - Singapore uses European outlets, which are different!
