| The East
coast of Leyte lies in the path of the north east trade
winds ensuring a mild oceanic climate. There is no
clearly defined wet or dry season. It can rain any time
of the year but it is less likely to rain in the
"hot" months of April to June and more likely
to rain in the at the height of the monsoon season in
November, December and January. When I asked one wise old "Lolo" in Cabuynan when is the wet season, his answer was "when it is raining". There is also said to be no bad weather, only "bed" weather! The coolest time of the year is from November to March when the average maximum is in the high twenties (Celsius). The hottest time of the year is April to August when the average maximum is in the low thirties. Year round, average humidity is about 77%. It is a great climate if you don't mind the humidity! Typhoons Typhoons have a great influence on the climate and weather conditions of the Philippines. A great portion of the rainfall, humidity and cloudiness are due to the influence of typhoons. They generally originate in the region of the Marianas and Caroline Islands of the Pacific Ocean which have the same latitudinal location as Mindanao. Their movements follow a northwesterly direction, sparing Mindanao from being directly hit by majorty of the typhoons that cross the country. Source: http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/
