Best Time to Visit Philippines

As with other tropical destinations, there are two very distinct seasons: dry and rainy. The dry season typically runs from November to May where temperatures are cooler at around 25°C to 30°C and a lot less humid, but still allow you to enjoy those sun soaked days poolside, while heavier and more scattered showers sweep across the country between June and October. It is key to remember that as the Philippines is made up of over 7,000 islands, the poorer weather conditions are localised and don't affect the entire country equally. The shoulder seasons May and November are the second-best time to visit as they are either side of the rainier season and exempt from the throngs of travellers during the peak season.
