Weather in Quezon City in October

A hard month. October asks something of you. Go in knowing what. You should expect rain on 27 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

October ranks 9 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 27 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 88% nothing dries, including you.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 16 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break; the day barely swings — 5.4 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest October day reached 34.9 °C and the coldest night fell to 20.4 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 128 mm — roughly 38% of the month's rain in one day.

October is moderately variable: 156 mm in the driest year against 1050 mm in the wettest, around an average of 341 mm. Roughly two Octobers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 4.4 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity at 88% is the real story though — it is the number that decides how the day feels, not the 30 °C.

How October sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 30.2 °C in September, 30 here, 29.4 in November. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in October

Quezon City sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 11.8 hours in October, 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

Quiet. Few other visitors, cheaper rooms, and a real chance some seasonal operators are shut.

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

October 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, 4 days less rain. Iloilo is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day less rain.

So: October works, with February the better month by 11 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
