Manila -
The best and worst
times to visit
Insights you need to know
Best times
December to March
Expect sunny days and relatively comfortable temperatures. January and February are the best of the four months.
Least desirable times
June to October
Light to heavy rains are common, especially between late June and early October. Humidity increases. Typhoons are occasional but devastating.
Avoid Christmas and Easter holidays
Unless you are visiting friends or family, go at another time. Airline and hotel availability shrink and prices soar. And holiday traffic jams in Manila are even more terrible than they normally are.
