Philippines Annual Average Climate

As ocean temperatures rise due to climate change, more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, leading to stronger and more frequent storms in the Philippines over the last decade. Average temperatures in the Philippines range from 21-32°C, with May being the warmest month. The country experiences typhoons between June and November which can cause significant damage. Natural disasters in the Philippines from 2000-2012 caused over 12,000 deaths and affected over 71 million people.

As the ocean’s surface temperature increases over time from the effects of

climate change, more and more heat is released into the atmosphere. This additional
heat in the ocean and air can lead to stronger and more frequent storms – which is
exactly what we’ve seen in the Philippines over the last decade (The Climate Reality
Project 2016).

however generally January is the coolest month while May is the warmest. The
Philippines are also affected by typhoons, also known as bagyo, which occur between
June and November. Really only affecting the Visayas, Cebu is the only tourist
destination that is impacted by these conditions however, typhoons can result in
significant damage in these areas or heavy rain across the rest of the country.
