The warmer season or \u201chot-season\u201d<\/h2>\n
The warm and hot season in the Philippines prevails in the months of March, April and May. The rather sun-drenched travel friend will therefore consider these months as the best travel time, with a constant high humidity, as the climate is strongly influenced by the sea. <\/p>\n
The daily temperatures during this time can reach values of over 40\u00b0 C, which is why caution<\/strong> is advised. A major problem is that the temperatures do not fall off at night. Without air conditioning, sleeping can become difficult. This weather can continue until June.<\/p>\n Beach scene in Boracay during November<\/p><\/div>\n The rainy season<\/strong> In the period from July to November, typhoons are coming in from the Pacific. These tropical storms can cause major damage but are limited to some regions of the country. The region that is usually majorly damaged is the Eastern Visayas because they are the front liners when the tropical storm approaches the country. The second largest island, Mindanao in the south and the Western Visayas islands are normally less affected, but depending on the movement of a typhoon, they are haunted by heavy rain at their foothills. <\/p>\n With the term \u201cEl Ni\u00f1o\u201d<\/strong>, a weather phenomenon that occurs in some years is characterised by high temperature and long-lasting dryness. When El Ni\u00f1o occurs (like in 2016), it can be that it does not rain for 6 to 8 months.<\/strong> While the exact opposite of the phenomenon is called \u201cLa Ni\u00f1a\u201d<\/strong>, in which it is constantly raining<\/strong> even in the warm or dry season. The year 2011 seems to have been such a La Ni\u00f1a year. Both weather phenomena occur throughout the Pacific and show their effects in a similar manner. <\/p>\n The best time to travel in the Philippines depends on the particular destination and the subjective feeling of the heat. The average daily temperatures in the Philippines are about 26\u00b0 C, with the exception of the hot months of March, April and May. The typical weather during the rainy season is characterized by warm temperatures and high humidity. Precise predictions are hardly possible and are additionally made more difficult by the mentioned weather phenomenon. <\/p>\n Even in the supposedly worst rain months, the weather god can be merciful and only occasionally send rain showers from above. Particularly on Northern Luzon and around Manila, the first rains around June are often very strong which can also be recognized by the floods at this time of the year.<\/p>\n The weather in Palawan<\/a>, which is pretty famous amongst tourists to the Philippines, looks as follows: from June to November, there are stronger rains, and from December to May the rain drops and the main season begins.<\/p>\n In Siargao in the north-east Mindanao<\/a>, Southern Leyte, Eastern Samar and South-East Luzon the rainfall is strongest from November \/ December to March \/ April and from May to October, also at the beginning of the \u201cofficial rainy season\u201d. In the central Visayas, we have often seen the so-called \u201cHabagat wind\u201d or south-west monsoon<\/strong> from June onwards, which brings heavy rainfall coming from the south-west.<\/p>\n Fantastic view of the coast in the north-east Siargao. Here, the weather is often different than in the rest of the country.<\/p><\/div>\n The Habagat<\/strong> is then replaced by the \u201cAmihan\u201d<\/strong> which comes from the northeast. During this time (October to May), there is a tendency towards less rain – while in Panglao (Bohol) we were \u201cin the rain\u201d during the whole month of January. Exceptions prove the rule here. However, we can say with some decades of travel experience that the Central Visayas are a suitable destination all year round.<\/p>\n Typhoons can be reasonably associated with increasing environmental impact, similar to the hurricanes in the Caribbean. Also, for this reason, a weather forecast is very dared for the months of July to November.<\/p>\n Based on our experience, the best travel time for the Philippines is between February and June, and the country can be travelled throughout the year.<\/strong> The tourist numbers show that most travellers, visit the Philippines between November \/ December and April \/ May. <\/p>\n If you like it somewhat \u201ccooler\u201d, you should visit the islands between October and February. Especially the Visayas are less affected by strong weather changes. Strong typhoons can be found, for example, in the north or on the southeastern Pacific coast.<\/p>\n Tips:<\/strong> Read here<\/a> more about the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines.
