Travelers seeking to spend time in Palawan should know that there is a long rainy season during which it is best to avoid heading to the area.  The only drawback to going there during the dry season is that it is also the hottest time of year and there is frequently high levels of humidity which can make it very uncomfortable.

Travelers should also know that the rainy season lasts longer on the eastern side of Palawan than it does on the northern, southern and western sides of Palawan so if the eastern side is raining, try heading elsewhere to get out of the rain.

The rainy season begins in June and marks the time of the year when it is strongly recommended not to head to the area.  For the first three to four months of the rainy season, Palawan is struck by heavy monsoons.  There are also some threats of tropical storm damage at this time, usually affecting the northern part of Palawan the most.  Starting in approximately November, the rains calm down to tolerable amounts, except in that eastern part of Palawan .  The rains continue on through the beginning of March.  Early March is an excellent time to plan for a trip to Palawan , because the weather is not yet unbearably hot but the rains have tapered off.
