Climate

          Philippine climate is tropically warm, but healthful. According to the American scientist, Dr. Dean C. Worcester, who resided for many years in Manila, it is "one of the most healthful tropical climates in the world". There are two distinct seasons, the dry and the wet. The dry season lasts from March to June, while the wet season is from July to October. The intervening months of the year - November to February are neither too dry nor too wet. It is the Philippine springtime, a delightful season of the year.

          There is abundant sunshine all year round, so that in the Philippines, flowers of all kinds bloom every day. There is also plenty of rain. The Philippines holds the world's record for the heaviest 24-hour rainfall of 979.4 mm. which occurred in Manila on October 19, 1967.
