Climate information

The warm dry days of November and December (18°C-23°C/64°F-73°F) make it the best time to visit. January and February get much cooler (13°C-18°C/55°F-64°F) with refreshing winds, especially in the rural areas. Humidity and temperatures are highest between May and August (31°C/88°F), relieved by heavy rains, so pack your umbrella and make the most of indoor attractions. Typhoons often strike between July and September, when urban areas close down and – if they're severe – transport is suspended.
