When to visit Makati
High and low season in Makati
The dry season, running roughly from December through April, is the most comfortable time to visit Makati. Skies are clearer, humidity is lower, and outdoor dining and street-level exploring feel far more manageable. Hotels and serviced apartments in the central business and shopping areas can fill up around the Christmas and New Year period, so booking ahead pays off if you're travelling then.
The wet season, from around June through October, brings regular afternoon downpours and occasional typhoons that can disrupt plans. That said, Makati's indoor scene, including its malls, restaurants, and covered walkways, means heavy rain rarely stops you entirely. Accommodation tends to be easier to book during this period, and prices are generally more flexible.
Makati has an active calendar tied to Philippine national holidays, shopping festivals, and arts events, particularly around the Christmas season when the area puts on a strong showing of lights and markets. For current events and local activity listings, the official tourism websites for Makati and Metro Manila are good places to check before your trip.
