Weather in Cebu in December

December in Cebu is a hot month. Plan the serious walking for morning. The rest of the day wants shade and a slower pace.

In Philippines, this is how Cebu actually wears December, not how a country centroid would. Compared with May and January, December sits in the middle of Cebu's year.

What to expect

Daytime

Hot days in Cebu. Ruins, markets and hills are a morning job. Midday sightseeing is how people remember December for the wrong reason.

Nights stay warm. Air-con, if you can get it, is part of the brief. A jumper for December in Cebu is almost always a waste of bag space.

Rain

December is a wetter month in Cebu. Showers are part of the deal, not a spoiled surprise.

Waterproof shoes matter more than a rain plan for a beach, especially if a beach is not why you came. Build indoor hours into the afternoon.

Evening

Evenings stay warm.

What to pack

  • Sun protection

  • Rain jacket
