Caloocan Weather in June

June: warm and very wet

June in Caloocan feels sticky from the first morning, with warm days and nights that don't really cool off. Rain falls on 27 days, and thick cloud hangs over the city, so you'll see only a little sunshine. That's why this month scores so low, and why January and February are the better choice if you can pick your dates.

If you do end up here in June, keep your outdoor plans loose. A dry spell can be perfect for a visit to the Bonifacio Monument, but showers can cut short long walks and open-air sightseeing. Don't build your day around staying dry. Keep an indoor option ready, such as the exhibits at the nearby Museo ni Andres Bonifacio.

Holiday and crowds

Independence Day falls on June 12, a national holiday. You may see ceremonies and flags around the country, though what happens in Caloocan can vary from year to year. The Bonifacio Monument is a fitting place to learn about the revolutionary leader it honours.

If you hate crowds, June is usually quieter than the drier months. It's the middle of the wet season, so fewer people travel then, and some hotel rates may be lower than during peak periods. July is rainier still, while January and February draw more visitors because the weather is better.

Getting around on a wet day

Travelling with kids? Keep an indoor stop in reserve for sudden downpours.

For a practical tip, take LRT Line 1 to Monumento station, then visit the Bonifacio Monument once the rain eases. The area gets busy with traffic, so don't try to cross wide roads on foot during a downpour. For a meal nearby, look for tapsilog: beef tapa, garlic rice and egg. It's a filling choice after a damp outing.
