Weather in Iloilo in February

A good month. February is a solid month to be in Iloilo. Highs average 29.3 °C, lows 24.9 °C, and rain falls on 12 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

February is the highest-scoring month of the twelve. The nearest rival is March, and the month at the other end of the year is May.

Rain on 12 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 29.3 °C days and 24.9 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 7 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break; the day barely swings — 4.5 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest February day reached 32.8 °C and the coldest night fell to 22.6 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 49 mm — roughly 72% of the month's rain in one day.

February is moderately variable: 12 mm in the driest year against 146 mm in the wettest, around an average of 68 mm. Roughly two Februarys in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind sits around 17.2 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity runs at 81%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How February sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 28.6 °C in January, 29.3 here, 30.7 in March. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in February

Iloilo sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 11.8 hours in February, against a range of just 1.2 hours across the whole calendar. Sunrise and sunset land at roughly the same time whenever you come.

An inland climate

Despite being inland, the year stays fairly even: 7.3 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead. If the dates are flexible, April is the trade worth considering — 9 points weaker on weather, and materially quieter.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

February in Iloilo versus nearby

If Iloilo is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Cebu City is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 3 days more rain. Cagayan de Oro is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain.

So: February is the answer for Iloilo. If it is booked out or priced out, March is the next best thing at 3 points behind, and May is the month to keep off the shortlist.
