Climate & When To Go

The best time to visit Philippines is in the typhoon off-season, from October to May. The wet season falls between June and September. The dry season starts when the September rains let up, and from then until early April the weather is at its most travel-friendly. By May, the warm weather turns hot and you will long for a sea breeze or the cool shade of the mountains. It can be up to 38 degrees.

 

Note that the wet season does not totally prohibit travel in Philippines. Even in parts of the country where the wet season is most pronounced, like Palawan, it is still possible to travel right through this season, provided you are willing to accept delays and cancellations. More commonly, thunderheads and rain clouds build during the day and rain falls in bursts during the afternoon. There are also several advantages to traveling in the wet season, lower accommodation prices, fewer people and lovely sunsets.

 

You have to book well in advance during Christmas, New Year and Easter since many workers return to their families and spend their holidays.
