The Philippines has a tropical and maritime climate characterized by generally high temperatures, high humidity and abundant rainfall. According to PAGASA, the country's average annual temperature, excluding Baguio, is about 26.6°C. Weather conditions vary considerably from one region to another because of the country's geography, rainfall patterns and mountain systems.
This means that a forecast for Manila should not be treated as a forecast for the entire Philippines. Weather in Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao can differ substantially on the same day.
PAGASA broadly describes two major seasons based on temperature and rainfall: the rainy season from June to November and the dry season from December to May. The dry season can be divided into the cool dry period from December to February and the hot dry period from March to May.
Generally associated with June through November. Southwest monsoon conditions and tropical cyclones can produce periods of heavy rainfall in affected areas.
December through February is generally the cooler part of the Philippine dry season, although conditions vary between regions.
March through May is generally the hottest period of the year, with high temperatures and humidity common across many lowland areas.
Metro Manila has a hot, humid tropical climate and experiences significant rainfall during the wet season. Urban temperatures can feel particularly high because of humidity and the built environment.
Baguio is considerably cooler because of its elevation. PAGASA reports a much lower mean annual temperature for Baguio than for most Philippine stations at lower elevations.
Weather conditions vary across the Visayas. Coastal exposure, monsoons and tropical cyclones can strongly influence rainfall and wind conditions.
Many parts of Mindanao have different rainfall patterns from Luzon. Some southern areas are less frequently affected by the main tracks of Philippine tropical cyclones, although severe weather can still occur.
Tropical cyclones are an important part of Philippine weather. They can bring strong winds, heavy rain, flooding, landslides and dangerous coastal conditions.
For active tropical cyclones, severe weather warnings, rainfall warnings and official forecasts, always check PAGASA. A general numerical weather model forecast should not replace official emergency information.
Official PAGASA WeatherPrecipitation is the amount of rain and other forms of precipitation expected during the forecast period. In the Philippines, rainfall is particularly important because heavy rain can contribute to flash flooding and landslides.
The forecast table displays precipitation in millimeters (mm). For example, 10 mm means that the forecast precipitation corresponds to 10 liters of water per square meter.
Generally part of the cooler dry-season period, although weather varies by region.
The hot dry season. Temperatures and humidity can become particularly uncomfortable in lowland areas.
Rainy-season conditions become increasingly important, with southwest monsoon activity affecting many areas.
Rainfall remains important in many parts of the country, while tropical cyclones can affect different regions.
Generally marks the beginning of the cooler dry season, although regional rainfall patterns differ.
Some Philippine locations do not follow the same simple wet-and-dry pattern. PAGASA recognizes four climate types based on rainfall distribution.
The Philippines is an archipelago with many islands and different local climate patterns. There is therefore no single temperature or rainfall forecast that accurately represents the entire country.
This page uses coordinates for Metro Manila as a practical default location. If you are travelling to Cebu, Davao, Baguio, Palawan, Boracay, Iloilo, Clark or another Philippine destination, you should check the forecast for that specific location.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is the country's official government weather and climate service. PAGASA provides public weather forecasts, tropical cyclone warnings, flood bulletins, rainfall warnings, thunderstorm alerts and other meteorological services.
Visit PAGASA WeatherThe Philippines generally has a tropical maritime climate with high temperatures, high humidity and abundant rainfall. However, weather differs considerably between regions.
PAGASA broadly identifies a rainy season from June to November and a dry season from December to May. The dry season is further divided into cool dry and hot dry periods.
The rainy season is generally June through November, although the exact rainfall pattern varies by location. Some parts of the country have rainfall distributed differently throughout the year.
March through May is generally the hot dry season. PAGASA's national climate information identifies May as the warmest month on average.
Yes. Tropical cyclones have a major influence on Philippine weather and can bring heavy rain, strong winds and flooding. Always consult PAGASA for official tropical cyclone warnings.
