The best time to go to Manila is during the dry season, which runs from December to May, with the clearest and most pleasant weather occurring from January to March.During these months, you'll experience lower humidity and less rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the city's sights and enjoying outdoor activities. The average temperature hovers around 26-30°C (79-86°F), so it's warm but generally comfortable for sightseeing. This period is particularly good for those who want to visit historical sites like Intramuros or explore the bustling markets without the interruption of heavy downpours.For travellers who prefer slightly cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, the shoulder months of December and May can also be a good option. While December might see the tail end of the rainy season, the weather is generally improving, and the festive atmosphere adds to the experience.
