Best time to visit Philippines:
Dry Season (November to April):
- This is the peak tourist season and considered the best time to visit the Philippines. The weather is generally dry and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 77°F to 90°F (25°C to 32°C).
- It's ideal for beach vacations, island hopping, and outdoor activities. Popular destinations like Boracay, Palawan, and Cebu are at their best during this time.
Wet Season (May to October):
- The wet season brings the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) and the potential for typhoons. Rainfall can be heavy, and some regions may experience flooding.
- Despite the rain, the wet season is a good time for surfers, with Siargao and Baler offering great waves. It's also a quieter time to visit popular destinations with fewer crowds and lower prices.
Typhoon Season (June to December):
- The Philippines is prone to typhoons during this period, so be cautious when planning your trip. Keep an eye on weather forecasts and any travel advisories.
