Weather in Quezon City in December

Shoulder season. December is shoulder season in Quezon City — cheaper, quieter, and a genuine gamble. You should expect rain on 26 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

December ranks 4 of 12 in Quezon City: past the worst of the year but short of February, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 26 of the month's 31 days, 11 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 89% nothing dries, including you.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 4 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break; the day barely swings — 5 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest December day reached 32.6 °C and the coldest night fell to 19.4 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 159 mm — roughly 40% of the month's rain in one day.

December is moderately variable: 77 mm in the driest year against 860 mm in the wettest, around an average of 393 mm. Roughly two Decembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 6.1 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity at 89% is the real story though — it is the number that decides how the day feels, not the 28.4 °C.

How December sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 29.4 °C in November, 28.4 here, 28.3 in January. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in December

Quezon City sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 11.3 hours in December, against a range of just 1.7 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: 11.4 °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, November 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.

December in Quezon City versus nearby

If Quezon City is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Angeles City is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 12 days less rain. Iloilo is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 4 days less rain.

So: December is effectively as good as it gets here — 4 points behind February, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
