For those coming from a non-tropical climate in the United States or from Britain, the climate may be one of the hardest things to get used to. Singapore lies almost directly on the equator, therefore enjoying a tropical climate year-round with no sharply divided seasons. With high humidity, large amounts of rain, and the probability for monsoons between November and December, some expats may find this a difficult adjustment. This is especially true if expats have lived in cool or cold climates for a significant period of time.
