El Nido in June
June is deep in the wet season: Coron, the nearest station to El Nido (about 127 km north-east), averages 360.8 mm — 14.5% of its annual rain, its 4th-wettest month.
Read this before any monthly weather number, including ours. El Nido has no PAGASA climatological
station. Every "El Nido in June" temperature or rainfall figure you see elsewhere is modeled or
invented. The numbers on this page are measured — at the three nearest stations, whose distance
from town is printed next to each — and the gap between those stations shows how much local geography
matters here.

What the three nearest stations measure in June
| Station | Where, relative to El Nido | June rainfall | Share of its year | Rank (1 = driest) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coron | Busuanga Island, north of El Nido — about 127 km north-east | 360.8 mm | 14.5% | 9th |
| Puerto Princesa | Mid-Palawan, south of El Nido — about 175 km south-west | 171.1 mm | 11.2% | 9th |
| Cuyo | Cuyo Island, in the Sulu Sea east of El Nido — about 180 km east | 327.3 mm | 14.9% | 9th |
30-year climatological normals PAGASA2026-08-26 — PAGASA's page does not state the normals period, so neither do we. Note the spread: Puerto Princesa's regime is roughly 40% drier across the year than Coron's, which is why a single "Palawan weather" figure misleads.
What this means for a June trip
- Crowds and booking — June is outside the November–April window one operator defines as peak El Nido Tours2026-08-26 — pressure on boats and rooms is lower.
- Rain — 360.8 mm in a month is real wet-season rain — an average of roughly 12 mm per day, usually delivered in bursts rather than all-day drizzle. Boats do get cancelled; build slack into the plan rather than booking tours back-to-back with a flight.
- Prices — the published tour rates in the Price Index are not seasonal: no indexed operator publishes different June pricing. What changes with the season is availability, not the rate card.
What we have not verified
- Temperature and sea state. PAGASA publishes rainfall normals on the page we can verify; we will add temperature when we can read it from the source rather than an aggregator.
- Typhoon frequency by month. Real, relevant, and not yet sourced from PAGASA’s cyclone records — so it is not stated here.
- Whether ferries and tours are cancelled more often in June. Nobody publishes cancellation statistics; treat wet-season slack as insurance either way.
Known unknowns are listed rather than filled in. If you can confirm one of these first-hand, tell us and it gets added with the date it was checked.
