Cebu in November

Around All Saints' Day, families gather at cemeteries and stay for hours, which can be striking to see. Rain falls off after the holiday, but Typhoon Haiyan struck the Visayas including northern Cebu in November 2013, so still check the weather bulletins before travelling.

Days averaged 31°C and nights 25°C. Midday was for air conditioning, a cold drink or a long lunch out of the sun. Rain fell on 13 days of the month on average. It varied a lot from year to year. November 2006 had 5 rain days; 2010 had 22.

Highs topped 30°C on 26 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense.
