What you are reading: 8-year historical averages from the ERA5 reanalysis, not a forecast. A month that is historically 90% clear can still be overcast on your specific trip. For this week’s actual forecast, see the live Singapore page. Both can be true at once: “historically strong in this month; this particular week is not.” We label which is which.

Sunshine & warmth in June

A second measure using actual sunshine hours (ERA5 sunshine_duration), not the daily weather code. A Lowcountry day with 12 hours of sun and a 25-minute afternoon storm is counted below as a warm, sunny day — because it was. How we define this.

Sunshine-based metrics for Singapore in June. Primary: % of days ≥ 72°F with > 6 h of sunshine.
Period Warm & sunny (≥72°F, >6 h sun) Sample (n)
Early June
1st–15th		 86% n=120
Late June
16th–end		 80% n=120
Full month average 83% n=240
10.3 h median sunshine per day 74% of days exceed 8 h sunshine 86% of days see ≥ 1 mm rain — rain is not hidden
Comparison (old vs new): WMO-code “clear” bar: 4%. Sunshine-based “warm & sunny”: 83%. The 79-point gap is from brief afternoon convective storms that stamp the whole day as “rain” in the WMO code but leave the bulk of the sunshine untouched.

Bottom line

Singapore is historically almost never clear in June: only 4% of days meet the clear bar across 8 years (n=240). Come back in February if you want clear skies here. Plan entirely around indoor or overcast-friendly activities.
