Manila in September The 'ber' months begin in September, and the Christmas season gradually starts. The weather is still firmly wet, and typhoon season peaks from July to October. If a big storm is on the way, be ready to shift your dates.
Highs averaged 31°C and lows stayed at 26°C, so the heat hung on long after sunset. Rain fell on more than half the days: 19 on average. A visitor in 2010 met 12 rain days; one in 2025 met 26. The average of 19 hid that gap.
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 8 of the last 20 years had a tropical storm pass within 300 km this month.
