What to expectBaguio through the year
Baguio changes little through the year. Average daily highs stay between 20 and 23 °C, so no month stands out as a season in the way it would further from the equator.
Counted across a normal year, 3 days a year reach 25 °C. The warmest reading in the 1991–2020 record is 27 °C, in April.
Rain is strongly seasonal. July averages 683 mm against 44 mm in January — 15 times as much. Planning around the dry months matters more here than planning around temperature.
The sea off Baguio is warmest in June at 30 °C and coldest in February at 27 °C. Sea temperature lags the air by a month or two, which is why late summer swims warmer than early summer at the same air temperature.
