The Philippines has a tropical climate with relatively abundant rainfall and gentle to moderate winds normally, unless a super typhoon and its strong winds from off the ocean is hitting landfall.
Philippine Weather Seasons
There are two pronounced seasons. The "Amihan" season from December to April where Northeast to east winds blow moderate to strong. The "Habagat" season from June to December is the time typhoons pass by the Philippine islands in the Pacific Ocean sending swell and waves into the Philippine shores. Sometime these typhoons do hit landfall with high winds and create flooding and landslides. The hottest time of year is from March to May which also happens to be summer vacation for all the schools.
Philippine Temperatures and Humidity
Temperatures in Philippines ranges from 22C to 33C with a 28C average. The coolest month of the year is January and the hottest is May. Both temperature and humidity levels reach the maximum in April and May, but these are generally good months for water sports and mountain treking.
Philippine Surfing
The Philippines has a lot of good surfing areas, and conditions when there are waves and swells. Wave generating storms are not as consistent sometimes as compared to the Hawaiian or Indonesian Islands for example but when the surf is on, its worldclass with no crowds normally. The Pacific Ocean facing beaches provide excellent surfing during the "Habagat" season during typhoon swells and offshore winds on points, point-reefs, rivermouths, and beachbreaks. Long perfect and powerful lefts and rights abound. During "Amihan" season from December to March good northeast to east wind swell waves can be found at protected from wind and south facing surf locations which provide glassier side to offshore surf conditions.
