Good to Know

  • January and February offer the coolest, most comfortable weather with minimal rainfall—ideal for outdoor activities.
  • April-May are the hottest months (around 34°C (93°F)/93°F) before the rainy season begins; bring sunscreen and stay hydrated.
  • Peak rainy season (June-October) brings frequent daily downpours, street flooding, and typhoon risk; plan indoor activities and check weather before travel.
  • Humidity remains high year-round; the rainy season feels especially muggy despite slightly lower temperatures.
  • Manila is on the western side of Luzon, which has a well-defined dry season, unlike the eastern coast which rains much of the year.
  • Typhoons occur most frequently August-November; during this period, flights may be delayed and outdoor plans disrupted.
