Singapore gets tornadoes (tropical funnels, waterspouts, etc). As for tropical cyclones, they mostly aren't all that big a deal.
Still doesn't change the general issues of humidity, insect pests, mold, etc
Singapore's "heat" is more comparable to the summertime temps that Galveston experiences. Everyone knows Galveston is far cooler than Houston because of the ocean breeze. Same goes with Singapore.
In all recorded history, Singapore has only had one typhoon/tropical storm, and it was a category 1.

Like I said, the general issues of humidity, bugs, etc are still present. And unlike Houston, Singapore has them year-round.
I don't care about which place has more hurricanes. All I know is that Singapore has longer lasting icky wetness than East Texas, and anyone who dislikes such climates should at least make sense with their votes.
Definitely Rochester, NY. Houston and Singapore are too hot for too long, while the former of the two at least has pleasant winters. Rochester has milder summers than my location, despite being at a lower latitude (probably the lake), although March is still too chilly for my taste.
I would give Rochester a B/B+ (winters are still too cold), Houston a C (pleasant Nov-Apr, too hot elsewhere) and Singapore a D (too hot, but adequate rainfall).
Singapore is too hot year-round and too dull in November and December which are horrid months
Houston is too hot most of the year and too dull in January and December but February, March and November are delightful
Syracuse/Rochester is too dull in winter and too hot in summer, but March, April, May and September are good months and so it wins.
