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.
