Kalibo’s High Season (December to May)
Kalibo experiences its high season when the weather is typically dry and sunny, with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 32°C. Humidity levels are lower, making the atmosphere more comfortable for outdoor activities. Upon arrival, you'll find a city buzzing with energy and a lively, celebratory feel, especially after the rainy months.
This period is defined by the world-famous Ati-Atihan Festival in January, drawing large crowds and transforming the city into a lively hub of street parades and cultural performances. Beyond the festival, the dry conditions are ideal for exploring local attractions, enjoying outdoor dining, and experiencing Kalibo’s active social scene. The city feels dynamic, with a constant flow of visitors and a palpable sense of excitement.
Kalibo’s Low Season (June to November)
During the low season, Kalibo sees more rainfall, with temperatures generally between 23°C and 30°C and higher humidity. While rain can be frequent, especially from July to September, it often comes in short, heavy bursts, clearing to allow for sunny intervals. The city adopts a quieter, more relaxed pace during these months.
The lower visitor numbers mean a more subdued atmosphere, offering a different perspective on local life. Daily routines continue, albeit with an adaptation to the wetter conditions; locals might gather more in indoor markets or community centres. While major festivals are absent, this season provides an opportunity to experience Kalibo’s authentic charm and natural beauty without the crowds.
