Hello my fretz!
Welcome to my Travel 101 Series, where you'll get tips and tricks on how to make your travels and adventures a hassle-free trip. You're going to learn the ropes of how to become a stress-free traveler.
Its super cold today and its raining non-stop, tropical storm Basyang is really making its presence known all over the country. This gave me an idea on what to post for today.
When traveling, we always want to know the best time to visit in order for us not to waste time and make sure that we have the best vacation ever! In my country, there are certain months of the year that is best for you to travel.
Dry and Wet Season
Unlike other countries that have four seasons the Philippines only has two major seasons. The seasons are categorized based on the rain fall quantity. They are:
Dry Season (Aug-Jan) – Temperature during this season is moderate with very little to no rainfall. This season is cooler and dryer.
Wet Season (May-Oct) – This is distinguished by having a moist and damp weather. Expect tons of rain and strong gusts of winds. Together with humidity and rain, this season can cause typhoons which can come as early as August.
Warm Months: Between March and October
Cool Months: Between November and February
Warmest Month: May
Coolest Month: January
Weather is Unpredictable
Knowing all these things doesn’t assure you that a sunny day today can give you another sunny day tomorrow. Even if its dry season, it doesn’t give you an assurance that there’ll be no rain and typhoons and having the wet season, doesn’t mean that it’s going to rain every single day.
When is the Best and Worst Time to Visit?
My country is basically enclosed by big bodies of water like the Philippine Sea, Pacific Ocean and Celebes Sea. This is why the Philippines are very susceptible to thunderstorms and typhoons throughout the year.
On average, there are about 20 typhoons that come inside the Philippine area of responsibility. The peak of the storm/typhoon season is August and September. This is when a lot of typhoons are coming in and out of the Philippines. Better avoid these months when you come to visit.
If you want an ideal weather and less rain, its best that you can come around without getting any headaches are between the months of January and May.
I do hope this would be a very useful tip for you to travel the Philippines my fretz!
