Climate

The Philippines have a tropical climate with high temperatures and high humidity throughout the year. The hottest months are April and May. There are basically two distinct seasons: the dry season and the wet season. The dry season starts in November and ends in April, although this varies slightly per region. The wet season runs from May until November. The likelihood of rain is higher during the wet season, but this does not mean that it will rain the entire day. The showers are usually short-lived and afterwards the sun comes out again. The archipelago often gets hit by typhoons during the wet season, but the possibility they occur is year round.
