Cebu in October Still a rainy month, though rain eases a little toward the end. Ahead of All Saints' Day on 1 November, people head to the provinces and the airport and terminals get busy, so allow extra travel time.
It was a hot month: 32°C by day and 25°C after dark. The month averaged 16 rain days. Carry an umbrella. It varied a lot from year to year. October 2009 had 7 rain days; 2025 had 26.
27 days past 30°C made it a month for early starts and a long lunch indoors. Rain days averaged 18 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.

What to pack Loose linen or quick-dry cotton, a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen were the basics. A water bottle stayed in the bag, and midday plans moved indoors.
Wet pavements were the norm: shoes you do not mind soaking, a jacket with a real hood, and a plastic bag to keep your phone and passport dry.
