How warm is it in Philippines during October?

The temperature is extremely stable in October with average highs of 29℃ and lows just 2℃ lower at 27℃. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

Does it rain in Philippines during October?

On average, there will be 14 rainy days during the month, amounting to 425.4mm in total. That's a lot of rain. For comparison, the wettest months in the UK typically sees between 80mm and 100mm, depending on where you are. There's a good chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.

Is it windy in Philippines during October?

You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during October. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.
