Weather in Philippines

The Philippines has 2 main seasons: Rainy from late June - November and Dry from December - May.

Rainy season (sometimes called 'monsoon season') is wet and wild, bringing with it heavy rainfalls and typhoons.

The Dry season is much more enjoyable, with perfect weather for island-hopping and beach-relaxing! Feb & Mar are the ideal months, with comfortable temperatures and almost no chance of rain. Later months in the Dry season are often the hottest and most humid.

Remember: this isn't an exact science! Temperatures/weather conditions might not be what's expected, so it's best to be prepared (bring a light rain jacket) and try to be flexible with plans!
