The Best Months to Explore the Philippines

When you are traveling in the Philippines, one of the things you have to watch for is the weather. There are only two seasons in a tropical country like the Philippines - that is the rainy and dry seasons.

The rainy season is heaviest during the months of July up to October. It can be dangerous to travel during these months especially if you are going to be mountaineering or spelunking. It can also be dangerous to visit waterfalls and rivers.

As the gateway to the Pacific Ocean, the country is often visited by powerful typhoons. Flash floods and landslide is a common occurrence during these months.

The best months to explore the Philippines therefore is during the months starting November until June. The months of March to May are the best months to view the scenic spots in the Philippines in their full grandeur.

Do you have any recommendations? I am British and I married a beautiful Filipina. We’re going to the Philippines this month. Is it good to travel there now?
