Zamboanga's Climate
Zamboanga sits on the southwestern tip of Mindanao in the southern Philippines, right on the coast and close to the equator, giving it a hot, humid tropical climate that stays steady all year. Temperatures vary little between months, with daytime highs of 30–33°C and nights around 23–25°C, and humidity is consistently high. Rain is fairly evenly spread but usually heavier from May to November, mostly as afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Lying south of the country's main typhoon belt, the city is rarely hit directly by typhoons, though heavy rain can still occur.
