Best time to visit Cagayan de Oro

Philippines · 20-year averages

Cagayan de Oro has no real season. The best month scores 62 and the worst 45, a spread of just 17 points, so the honest answer to "when should I go" is whenever the flights are cheapest. The good window runs January to April — 4 months within ten points of the best.

April is the warmest month at 31.9 °C and January the coolest at 28.9 °C — a 3 °C spread across the year. 172 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.

There is a real wet season here. June, July, September and October carry the rain — up to 27 wet days in a month — while February to April drop as low as 12. That 15-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Cagayan de Oro, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight barely moves: about 12.6 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.

The three strongest months are February, March, April. The one to think twice about is May. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
