Best time to visit Cebu City

March is the best month in Cebu City, scoring 63 out of 100, with May the weakest at 44. The 19-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs January to April — 4 months within ten points of the best.

April is the warmest month at 31.7 °C and January the coolest at 28.2 °C — a 3.5 °C spread across the year. Around 108 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in April and the months either side.

There is a real wet season here. June, July, September, October, November and December carry the rain — up to 26 wet days in a month — while February to April drop as low as 12. That 14-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Cebu City, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight barely moves: about 12.7 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.

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