How bad is the weather really right now?
Save

I don't expect to have much sun when I'm comming next week ;) But how bad is the weather really right now and what is expected in the next weeks. When I'm looking at weather forecasts it doesn't look quite promissing. However I know that Boracay has its own climate and that it can't be as bad as indicated. But could anybody tell me how much sun time has been experienced over the last days?

Cheers

its a wetter than most dry seasons, as the wet season was drier than most wet seasons...does that help, probably not......relax, you have your ticket and hotel, all will be okay..Boracay is busy during wet season, so I think you can find things to do during dry season if it rains...you on an island, it rains on islands..thank god...

I understand that Boracay is exciting even if its raining ;) However I'm coming especially for kiting and to enjoy some sun. Therefore: how well is the weather forecast in the internet reflecting reality - is it raining the whole day as predicted? How much sun did you really see within the last days or weeks? Don't worry I will come to Boracay for sure but just perhaps not now.

no one can answer your question with the accuracy that you seek..it can be raining in Caticlan with big clouds there. but sun out in Boracay....this just shows its impossible to give you what you seek. Its dry season, so go...it will not be drier during wet season...so why wait...

What is bad for you? The weather yesterday was perfect for: hiking, biking, playing beach games, sun bathing, jogging. Later, around 8 PM it rained for 30 minutes. Today more or less the same with a little stronger winds. This is in short the weather since early December. Bad?

Not at all - thank you for the answer. When you look at internet the weather forecast looks much worse and I therefore just wanted to check that. Thanks.

Mora, I just came back from there this past weekend. I stayed from (25th- 28th) Tuesday to Friday and Tues & Wed was beautiful, but Thursday not so much. Although when it rained it wasn't a downpour. I'm from Florida so we get some really bad rainstorms. When we left on Friday, it looked fair w/ no rain. The forecast we saw for our stay was rainy, I believe, all the days so it was a nice surprise. I was originally suppose to be in Boracay the 17th-19th, but due to crappy Delta mechanical issues I was delayed 2 1/2 days getting to the PI so missed out on my original schedule. My family; however, went during that time and they said the 17th was nice, the 18th rained and the 19th as they were leaving was beautiful. I would say if you stay at least 3 days, you'll have at least a day with really nice weather and if you stay a week, chances are you'll have several nice days.

Hope this helps.

hello

i am coming in a few days also. and our goal is to swim swim snorkle swim

we hang and lay out and play games and drink also. but we come to snorkle and swim so our main concern is if its warm enough for that

i can swim evenif its sprinkling but the boats as i know wont go out on snorkle tours when its choppy and windy in the water. or else, i wont want to go out then.

ill come regardless, it will just be hot the holiday of beaches i intended is all. then im off to coron palawan, which the main goal is to snorkle so im crossing my fingers.

im going alone, so any travel buddies who want to meet up, please contact me!

ciao!

Kyyrin - what answer do you expect on your question: "our main concern is if its warm enough for that'?

At the White Beach people swim and hang out in the beach. At Bulabug Beach kiters have suits and people on the beach a jacket. I would not go swimming now, to fresh for me, while others enjoy the 26 Degree Celsius warm water.

Is this enough warm or what do you consider as enough warm?

Yes, if many people r swiming, that's a good sign I can swim. If its justchildren swiming, welll, they will swim in frezzing water. So I'm glaad some folks r in the water but jakets on the !beach...never a good sign for a swimming snorkling beach vacation

Thanks!
