Climate in the Philippines: When is the Best Time to Travel?

Climate in the Philippines: When is the Best Time to Travel?

If you are thinking of taking a different and original trip, I definitely recommend travelling to this exotic paradise with more than 7,100 islands.

The best time to travel to the Philippines depends on the weather , so you will have to take it into account.

In this post I want to tell you what it is like to travel to this paradise and what are the elements that you have to control to make a perfect trip Therefore, you have to pay special attention to the tropical climate , because it is what will condition your trip.

So keep reading! that I am going to accompany you for the next few minutes through this fantastic destination.

A trip of 15 days is more than enough to get to know this destination .

However, I have prepared two itineraries, one short (9 days) and the other, longer than 20, which I have called the entire Philippines.

Of course, you already know that the trip can be customised, but they will serve as an orientation.

The Philippines is considered the country of smiles.

Yes, as you hear. They are very hospitable and treat you very warmly. They make you feel unique and always, under any circumstance, they smile!

And what better than a smile to choose a destination? Well, maybe a map (to focus).

Filipinos enjoy the joy of character. They are very open and positive. They speak in English and Tagalog , a language that includes many words in Spanish, approximately 3,600.

So the bad way, if your English is weak, you can always say something in your native language.

In 15 days you can travel the country without problems: Manila, Boho, Saban, Cebu, Pangasinan, Baguio.

And what I think are the three essential places in the Philippines (besides Manila, of course).

Sagada – It is the most hyped in the country and has the coolest weather.

Something overwhelming, their hanging coffins.

Timbac: a small community in the middle of the mountains.

Kabayan : place well known for its rice plantation and for its mummies (in Timbac), which were discovered at the beginning of industrial activity. They are as old as those of Egypt.

Visit their official site to know more, it is very interesting.

Of course, you will stay in hotels that I know will really fascinate you, such as Sabang, Sheridan resort or the Marriott Hotel Cebu.

Wonderful!

Philippines weather: 'Bahala na!' or God will provide for you!

When you travel to any country with a tropical climate , the question is always up in the air: what months are best to visit the islands without being surprised

by Philippine typhoons?

In the tropical climate it is normal for it to rain a few hours a day, and for there to be typhoons. But, the foreseeable thing is that they pass by the island.

Only the sea will suffer.

To clarify, typhoon season in the Philippines starts in August.

Forget taking a boat; but do not worry; there are many other options to enjoy.

Here I leave you a very well explained climogram and I detail the different times for you to plan your trip.

March through May is the Philippine summer season when the weather is driest. End of June to mid-November is the rainy season . But, you can make plans if you check the weather. The southern part, Mindanao , especially Siargao and Camiguin , are spared from what they call the rainy season.

December to February is the warmest time. January is coldest and May the hottest. Temperatures range from 21ºC to 31ºC. The average is 27 ºC. In Manila, the northern part and Luzon is where the rains are more torrential .

The tropical climate is what it has : normally, during almost the whole year, the rain is the protagonist.

The advantage of the Philippines is that, having such a variety of islands, you can choose between the least rainy as in the case of the Visayas, the least affected of all. And I am going to talk to you about this right now, because we will have to go somewhere to take refuge from the typhoons

Visayas or Bisayas: the Islands Protected from Typhoons This archipelago is made up of many islands .

They stand out for their paradisiacal landscapes . They are not affected by typhoons like other islands. In the end, everything remains in the typical tropical storm , very common in the Philippines.

What is there to see around here, you ask?

Bohol Spectacular for its Chocolate Hills or Chocolate Hills. They are so called because the hills are shaped like cones and in the dry season they turn brown.

🙂

And, legend has it, perhaps, they are the tears of a giant when his beloved abandoned him. Oh it's pretty!

Palawan or the last frontier The last frontier has some impressive and empty beaches.

Not to be missed are the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park and the Tubbataha Reef Marine Park , both World Heritage Sites.

If you like adventure, this is your place, for all the routes (more or less demanding that you will find).

The effort has its reward; I tell you.

The Nest Why is it called The Nest?

You will find it curious, it is for a bird . Specifically, because of the swiftlet that finds in this (rocky) environment an ideal home to lay its eggs.

It is located northwest of Palawan and has amazing beaches with transparent water.

And, furthermore, if you are going to travel in the rainy season, it is the quietest destination.
