El Nido, month by month
El Nido has no weather station. That single fact explains most of the contradictory "best time to visit" advice: everyone is quoting modeled numbers without saying so. This section quotes measured ones — 30-year rainfall normals from the three nearest PAGASA stations, each labelled with its distance from town.
The shape of the year
The dry months and the peak season line up almost exactly — the operator-defined peak (November to April El Nido Tours2026-08-26) covers Coron's six driest months PAGASA2026-08-26. That is not a coincidence; it is the whole pattern of the west-monsoon coast.
