Climate
The Philippines has a tropical climate with two distinct seasons: wet and dry. Typhoons and tropical storms are a common occurrence during the wet season, particularly in the northern part of the Philippines, and occur from late May till early November. Dry season starts from late November until late April. December to February is a pleasant time to visit the Philippines. Temperatures during this time range from 24-30°C 75-86°F at its peak. From March to May, temperatures heat up but as Manila is by the coast, it rarely goes beyond 37°C 99°F.
March is the best month of the year, when even at noontime, it is a pleasure to walk, and when other Southeast Asian countries are experiencing 40°C heat and muggy weather.
