Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: flip this switch on and Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- turn it off again any time, or reveal the real photo for just one place at a time from its own page.

Philippines Climate Patterns

Changed

The Philippines has a tropical maritime climate, warm and humid year-round, with the real seasonal variation coming from rainfall -- a dry season roughly November to April and a wetter season the rest of the year.

Typhoon season, June through November and peaking August-October, affects Luzon and the Visayas most directly, while Mindanao and southern Palawan sit largely outside the main track.

Mountain destinations like Baguio stay noticeably cooler than the tropical lowlands year-round.
