The best time to go to Sampaloc is generally during the dry season, which runs from November to April.
During these months, you'll experience pleasant weather with less humidity and sunshine, making it ideal for exploring the area. Temperatures are usually warm but comfortable, averaging around 25-30°C. This period is superb for visiting local parks or walking around the university campuses without the interruption of heavy rain.
The dry season is particularly good for those planning to visit during the Christmas and New Year holidays, as the weather is consistently good for outdoor activities and festivities. However, do be aware that this is also peak tourist season, so popular attractions and accommodations might be more crowded and slightly more expensive.
Conversely, the wet season, from May to October, brings higher humidity and frequent, often heavy, rainfall. While you might find better deals on flights and hotels during this time, the weather can disrupt outdoor plans.
