08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
April is the hottest month on average, with still air, highs around 32 °C and sudden late-afternoon thunderstorms that clear within an hour. Easter is a long weekend, with Good Friday a public holiday. Hotels are priced between the festival peaks, making April good value for a city that is rarely cheap.
The Singapore International Jazz Festival and the World Gourmet Summit fall in spring, and the durian season in nearby Malaysia begins, filling the fruit stalls of Geylang by late April. Plan outdoor sightseeing before eleven and after five; the Botanic Gardens open at five in the morning and are at their best at dawn. The inter-monsoon brings the highest humidity of the year, so an afternoon in the National Museum or the ArtScience Museum is the sensible pattern. May brings Vesak Day and the first of the regional holidays; see May.
