Singapore in March 2025 – Things To Do, Festivals, Events & Weather

March is a shoulder season in Singapore. The nation has just ended the Lunar New Year celebration the previous month, and it is gearing up for the next festival.

And that is Hari Raya Puasa which takes place at the end of the month, on 31 March 2025 (Monday). It is a Public Holiday in Singapore.

Since it is on Monday, the long weekend of Hari Raya Puasa (29-31 March 2025) will be a busy one. That’s because many Singapore residents will be traveling overseas (either for family reunion or holiday), and many tourists from neighbouring countries will visit Singapore (because Hari Raya Puasa is a big festival in Malaysia and Indonesia).

Hari Raya Puasa festivities start kicking a month earlier, with Ramadan Bazaars taking place all over Singapore. The biggest Ramadan Bazaar, Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar, takes place from 26 February 2025 to 31 March 2025.

The school holiday in Singapore is taking place from 15 to 23 March 2025. That means, attractions may be more crowded than usual because families are going out to spend quality times with their children.

If you prefer to travel during off-peak period, you can consider avoiding traveling between 15 to 23, and 29 to 31 March 2025.

Singapore’s Weather in March

Early March in Singapore is pretty dry and windy. There will still be hot and rainy days, but most of the time, it’s windy and comfortable.

However, in the late March, Singapore will enter Inter-Monsoon Period. During this time, there will be frequent (and at times severe) thunderstorms in the afternoon and early evening. Despite the thunderstorms, the afternoon temperature will be pretty hot, with maximum temperature above 32°C.

Based on historical data between 1991 to 2020, it rains 12 days out of 31 days. So, it will rain 38% of the month.

I recommend that you bookmark Singapore’s weather website, which is a very useful website to see current rain area & intensity, and to check the rain forecast for the next 4 days.

March’s temperature hovers between 24.9 to 32.2 degrees Celsius (76.8 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit). Generally, the temperature in Singapore doesn’t differ much from month to month.

In March, the sun rises between 7.14am (1 Mar) to 7.05am (31 Mar) and sunset occurs between 7.19pm (1 Mar) to 7.12pm (31 Mar).
