Weather in Iloilo in July

Shoulder season. July is shoulder season in Iloilo — cheaper, quieter, and a genuine gamble. You should expect rain on 28 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

July ranks 5 of 12 in Iloilo: past the worst of the year but short of February, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 28 of the month's 31 days, 12 of them heavy. At that frequency a wet-weather backup is not a contingency, it is the itinerary — book the indoor things first and treat the clear days as the bonus. Natural fibres and a second shirt for the day. At 84% nothing dries, including you.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: the day barely swings — 1.9 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 31.8 °C and the coldest night fell to 25.5 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 78 mm — roughly 23% of the month's rain in one day.

July is statistically steady but not small: the year-to-year variation is modest in relative terms, yet the wettest July on record still delivered 563 mm against 205 mm in the driest. In a month this wet, even a tame spread is a lot of rain in absolute terms — the 344 mm average is a reasonable planning figure, not a promise.

Wind is light at 12.7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 84%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 29.6 °C in June, 28.7 here, 28.5 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in July

Iloilo sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 12.7 hours in July, 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

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

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

July 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, 2 days less rain. Cagayan de Oro is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days less rain.

So: July works, with February the better month by 13 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
