June trade-offs
- ↓Typhoon season is live from June — storms arrive with 24–48 hours warning and can shut down transport, airports, and outdoor attractions for 1–2 days
- ↓319mm of rain — the heaviest of the year so far; outdoor plans require constant contingency
- ↓33°C with 79% humidity produces a heat index that makes extended outdoor time genuinely unpleasant
November trade-offs
- ↓Sunshine hours drop slightly to 5 per day as the season progresses; cloud cover increases toward December
- ↓Some rain remains at 87mm — the same as January, so occasional grey days are part of the deal
- ↓Night temperatures drop to 17°C by month's end — evenings require a layer, especially in the mountains
