General Santos's Climate
General Santos lies at the southern tip of Mindanao on Sarangani Bay in the southern Philippines, with a hot, humid tropical climate that stays steady year-round, typically 25–33°C. Sitting near the equator (about 6°N) and outside the main typhoon belt, the city rarely takes a direct hit from major storms. Rain falls fairly evenly across the months but is heaviest from May to November under monsoon influence, while February to April is the driest and hottest stretch. High humidity and strong sun keep the UV index very high.
