Manila in August Deep in the habagat rains. With July it is the wettest stretch of the year, so on rainy days build the itinerary around museums and malls. A rain jacket often beats a folding umbrella.
August brought serious heat to Manila, 31°C on a typical afternoon and 26°C overnight. Early mornings were the best time to be outside. The month averaged 19 rain days. Carry an umbrella. Averages hide a lot here: one year saw 12, another 26.
Highs topped 30°C on 24 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense. Each rainy day brought about 24 mm, closer to downpours than drizzle.
Typhoons i 3 of the last 20 years had a tropical storm pass within 300 km this month.

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.
