Roasting in the sun isn't great, but neither is being dark out at 4pm amazing.

I'd take the heat over the winter, but that's not an all year round thing. Honestly I'd call it slightly in favor of NYC since the weather isn't always miserable here, but not a lot.

it's not really roasting as it is steaming in singapore. it feels like you're swimming in air, even at night.

That 90% constant humidity makes your blood run thin! You get used to it but still need to drink lots of water and learn tricks like standing in the shadow of a traffic light waiting to cross the road.

Fair - I never had a problem with Singapore's weather at night, but I'm from there and acclimatized. 6-7pm you'll see the locals all out enjoying the cool breeze and sunset while sipping hot drinks.
