Rain days are the days with at least 2 mm of rain.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in IN as well as at Manila, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in February; quietest in April.

The year in Manila

Manila experiences a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, leading to high humidity and rain during the monsoon. The climate normals should be prioritized for planning, as they provide specific temperature and rain day insights.

Busiest
mid Dec to mid Jan — Festive season attracts many tourists and prices rise.
Quieter, still good
early Feb to late Mar — Dry season before the wet season starts, with fewer tourists.
early Nov to mid Dec — Transition period before the holiday peak, with manageable crowds.
Wet or stormy
early Jun to late Sep — monsoon, moderate
Worth timing for
Feast of the Black Nazarene, January 9 — High tourist influx and crowded areas.
Chinese New Year, Movable — May cause price increases and crowded conditions.
Pahiyas Festival, May 15 — Attracts tourists and festivities in nearby regions.
Watch out for Flooding during heavy rains; Typhoons, particularly from June to September

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
