Weather in Quezon City in March
Philippines · 20-year averages, March
Shoulder season. March is shoulder season in Quezon City — cheaper, quieter, and a genuine gamble. Highs average 31.3 °C, lows 23.1 °C, and rain falls on 14 days — nothing in the month is working against you.
March ranks 3 of 12 in Quezon City. Only February scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.
Rain on 14 days, 3 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 31.3 °C days and 23.1 °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: 23 days top 30 °C, making the heat continuous rather than occasional. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest March day reached 36.6 °C and the coldest night fell to 19.5 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 126 mm — roughly 106% of the month's rain in one day.
This is the volatile part. March rainfall has ranged from 18 mm to 575 mm across the twenty years measured — a 557 mm spread around an average of 119 mm. The average is real but almost no individual March looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.
Wind is light at 5.7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 80%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.
How March sits in the year
The month is on the way up: 2 °C warmer than February, and April adds another 2.3 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.
Daylight in March
Quezon City sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 12 hours in March, 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.
March 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 — 3.1 °C warmer, 7 days less rain. Iloilo is a better bet in March — within a degree on temperature, 3 days less rain.
So: March is effectively as good as it gets here — 1 points behind February, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
