Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at San Juan, the beach town: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in January, February, March, April and November; quietest in June, July and December.

Siquijor's April days now average 31.0°C, 2.8°C warmer than in 1981–1990. 12 of 12 months are clearly warmer.

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

How far Siquijor is depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.

Before you go

Type A and B and C plugs at 220 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Philippine peso. UK Foreign Office: avoid all travel to parts. Everything for Philippines: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

Being there

On arrival

Paying — Cards work in malls, hotels and bigger restaurants; small shops, jeepneys and taxis mostly want cash. QR Ph codes (GCash, Maya) are common, and Alipay+ wallets usually work where GCash is taken.
UPI, for visitors from India — Not accepted for paying here; bring a card that works abroad.
Tipping — Restaurants usually add a service charge, so a tip is optional. In taxis, round up or add 20–50 pesos; Grab lets you tip in the app.

Getting around Siquijor

Apps — Rides: Angkas, Grab, JoyRide, Move It. Maps: Google Maps. Messages: Messenger, Viber. Grab is the main app for cars and metered taxis; Angkas, JoyRide and Move It are mostly motorbike taxis.
