Guide for Philippines in May

In the Philippines, May marks the transition from the dry season to the onset of the southwest monsoon, also known as the "habagat." At the beginning of the month, the weather in the Philippines is generally warm and dry, with temperatures ranging from 28° to 34° in the lowlands and slightly cooler temperatures in the highlands.

However, as the month progresses, the southwest monsoon brings increased cloud cover and precipitation to the western parts of the country, particularly in the regions of Luzon and Visayas. This can result in occasional heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoons and evenings.

By the end of May, the temperatures may slightly decrease due to the cloud cover and rainfall, with the lowlands experiencing temperatures around 26° to 32°. The eastern parts of the country, such as Mindanao, generally remain drier and experience more stable weather conditions during this time.

Travelers should be prepared for the possibility of sudden rain showers and thunderstorms, especially if visiting the western regions of the Philippines during this period.
