08Editor's notes

What the numbers don't tell you

March is dry, bright and hot, the start of the inter-monsoon when winds drop and afternoons feel heavier, with highs around 32 °C. A one-week school holiday in the middle of the month fills family attractions like Universal Studios and the Night Safari. It is among the best months for outdoor sights if you start early and rest at midday in the museums or the air-conditioned Jewel at Changi.

Hotel rates sit between the New Year peak and the June school holidays, making March good value. Rain returns in short late-afternoon storms in the second half. Sentosa's beaches and the Marina Bay waterfront are at their most pleasant in the early evening, when the Supertree light show runs twice nightly for free. For a cooler visit, there is none: this is as comfortable as Singapore gets outside February.
