It was very warm during the day, which was ideal for a beach vacation. However, the rainy season begins in April, so we also experienced heavy rain. Overall, the weather was below average.
MaartenThe heat was intense but not oppressive, perfect for a relaxing vacation. Be aware of possible typhoons.
AbelAlthough there were many sunny periods, the high humidity raised the temperature and made it uncomfortable at times. But there were still many beautiful days to enjoy.
NinaDuring typhoon season, high temperatures alternate with heavy rainfall. While this location may be fun for adventurers, it may not be as ideal for those looking for sunshine and dry weather.
LianneAugust was disappointing in terms of weather in the Philippines. Heavy rains and typhoons made the vacations less pleasant. There is little sunshine and it is constantly humid. I recommend choosing another month.
EstherPartly cloudy, almost no rain. Great climate for beach days and walks!
