What is the weather like?

One of the main reasons why the Philippines is so popular with pensioners and holiday makers alike is the pleasing climate. Water temperature range from 26°C in December-February to a balmy 30°C in June-August. Air temperatures follow the same pattern and range from around 25°C to 35°C. December through March are more windy. In our area, the long dry season start in February and ends around the end of June, with the onset of the rainy season. During the first weeks of the rainy season, there’s hardly a day without at least some rain, but after that showers becomes less and less frequent, and our work continues no matter the weather. A few months later the weather is quite akin to a European summer, with comfortable temperatures and occasional showers. Of course at that time the botanical garden we live in is very lush and green.
