5 reasons why we love the endless summer weather in Singapore

[Sponsored] As much as complaining about the heat is one of Singapore’s favorite national pastimes, it only takes a few days of winter chills to remind us how lucky we are to have year-round warm weather. From awesome parties to parks with personality, here are five reasons why we like it hot.

Maybe it’s the block parties taking place everywhere from Keong Saik Road to Armenian Street, Gillman Barracks and the National Gallery. Perhaps the pool parties at Sofitel So Singapore and W Singapore Sentosa Cove are more your scene. Or it could be a laid back Sunday at Kult Kafe. Whatever your inclinations, there’s an outdoor party with your name on it.

Singapore has world-class outdoor concert venues that have been graced by some of the biggest names in the business across just about every genre. Fort Canning, the Meadow at Gardens by the Bay and Changi Exhibition Centre have been—and will continue to be—the places where Singapore’s biggest gigs take place all year round.

There’s a green space for everyone in Singapore. Romantics can picnic at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Singapore Botanic Gardens, the young (and the young at heart) can go kite flying at Marina Barrage, thrill-seekers can take a spin at East Coast Park’s recently-reopened cable-ski park, intrepid nature lovers have Coney Island Park, MacRitchie and Bukit Timah, anglers have Changi Beach Park and foodies have Punggol Point—the list goes on.

Cultured pursuits in Singapore don’t end when the sun sets. With temperatures staying pleasant throughout the night, the city plays host to events like the Singapore Night Festival, the Singapore River Festival and the upcoming Gallery Light to Night Festival.

We have a penchant for champagne brunches in Singapore, but nothing beats spending quality time with family and friends over a few beers. With refreshing flavors of citrus and an easy-going 2% alcohol by volume, Tiger Radler is a beer that’s made for afternoon get-togethers.
