LIST: Holy Week weather forecast for Metro Manila, other destinations • PhilSTAR Life

Holy Week is here, and the Philippines is again preparing for a long weekend of spiritual reflection, family reunions, and road trips to divine and dreamy destinations.

Whether you're ticking off places on your travel bucket list, going on a Visita Iglesia with your barkada, or simply escaping the city for some much-needed quiet time, one thing's for sure: You'll want the skies on your side.

On March 26, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration officially declared the start of the dry season—a national cue to bring out the shades, slap on the sunscreen, and dust off your travel bags.

Before you finalize your itinerary or hit the road, we've compiled weather forecasts from AccuWeather, Timeanddate.com, and PAGASA for key Holy Week hotspots.
