Seasons and Climate of the Philippines

Photo Credit: Flicker.com

The recent volcanic eruption of Taal reminded me of questions from friends and neighbors about the climate in the Philippines. Besides the typhoons, earthquakes, the Philippines has several volcanoes that are active.  Otherwise, here is 

a video on the Climate of the Philippines

The climate of the country is divided into two main seasons:
  1. The rainy season, from June to the early part of October;
  2. the dry season, from the later part of October to May. The dry season may be subdivided further into (a) the cool dry season, from the later part of October to February; and (b) the hot dry season, from March to May. The months of April and May, the hot and dry months when schools are on their long break between academic years, is referred to as summer while in most of the northern hemisphere those months are part of spring.
Months November–February March–May June–August September–October
