Singapore is not exactly known for its beaches, but the sea temperatures at 29.4°C (84.9°F) are warm enough for swimming - of course, with adequate protection from the sun.
A cruise to neighboring countries like Malaysia and Thailand is a nice getaway from the heat and makes a memorable vacation. The hot weather does not dissuade the enthusiastic art lovers from a huge event in the form of the Singapore International Festival of Arts, which is a showcase of domestic and international talent. Evenings are suited for a walk down Orchard Road, the most significant commercial avenue with shopping malls hosting local brands and international retailers.
