Weather

Despite the fact that the Visayas extend so far in all cardinal directions, the water temperature is always pleasant no matter what the season, and the air temperature ranges from 25°C to 30°C year round. The area is generally less affected by the dozens of typhoons that sweep through the Philippines to the north. The wet season is usually from May to October and the dry season from November to April, with slight variations in different parts of the region. For example, rainfall in Leyte and on the west coast of Samar is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year, and typhoons strike southern Samar in November to December.
