Best time to go to Philippines
Hello there, lovely globe trotter! Ever thought of having a sun-kissed holiday with some glorious balmy weather? If so, then the charming Philippine archipelago should be topping your wish-list right now! And guess what? We've got the ultimate weather guide to help plan your Filipino fete. So let's dive right in, shall we?
Ubiquitously tropical, the Philippines generally experiences a wet and dry season throughout the year. The dry season is from November to April, making it a fabulous time for beach romps, city tours, and sunbathing sessions on powdery sand beaches. January to February is particularly delightful - it's cooler and perfect for venturing into the highlands, exploring the colonial charm of Vigan, or immersing yourself in the vibrant festivals that define Filipino culture.
The wet season spans from May to October. While this time is typically marked by monsoons and potentially typhoons, it isn't entirely a damp squib. The rainy season is celebrated for dramatic landscapes, tidbits of sunshine between showers and everything steeped in the refreshing scent of rain-washed tropical foliage. Count from June to early October if you're a rainforest enthusiast, waterfall-chaser, or a traveler who relishes less touristy, moody atmospheres.
That said, there's never a 'wrong' time to visit the Philippines! The country's weather might be as changeable as turning a kaleidoscope but that won't spoil your parade. And one more delightful nugget for you - the country is whittled into more than 7,000 islands, so you're bound to find a piece of paradise that's shining in your favorite weather hue, any time of the year!
