Plan carefully, because the wet season brings dangerous typhoons, landslides and disrupted travel, whereas the dry season brings clear skies and sunshine.
May could well be the best time to visit the Philippines. You might experience clouds towards the end of the month, but it’s going to be dry for most of May.
Keep a close eye on the weather, and if you do decide to visit in June then keep to the west coast. Typhoons tend to hit the east coast first and move westwards.
It’s going to be rainy, and there are likely to be typhoon warnings all through the month. You can still visit certain parts of the west, as you’ll have more warning of typhoons.
The weather begins to calm down in September, You’ll be enjoying the Philippines with fewer crowds around and lower prices, and it’s a good time to visit popular islands.
