Despite the fact that the Philippines has a tropical climate, this great Far East nation experiences enough climatic variations throughout the year. Most parts of the country are dry during January to June, which is essentially referred as the dry season. On the other hand, the period between July and December is a wet season, with heavy downpour being experienced by the region during the months. Travellers can plan their holidays to the Philippines between December and April. It is a popular tourist season and cheap tickets to Philippines and affordable quality rooms are not available so easily. It is best to avoid boarding flights to the Philippines during the month of May as it can get terribly hot at this time.
