08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
November marks the start of the northeast monsoon, with rain on about 18 days, often in long afternoon spells rather than the short storms of spring. Deepavali falls in October or November with its public holiday. Local school holidays begin in mid-November and run to the end of December, bringing families to the attractions. The Christmas light-up on Orchard Road starts in the second half of the month, making evenings the best time to be out.
Afternoon highs average 30 °C, slightly cooler than spring because of the cloud. The Singapore Writers Festival and Affordable Art Fair fill the first half with cultural programmes. Hotel rates are moderate until the Christmas week. Plan indoor days around the showers: the museums of the Civic District, the Jewel at Changi and the Gardens by the Bay conservatories are the standard circuit. December brings the wettest weather and the busiest weeks; see December.
