Philippine Flying Weather

Southern Mindanao almost never gets hit by typhoons. That's one of the reasons why the Philippine Air Force once based their trainers at the old Buayan airport in General Santos after Tambler opened.

But even when there are no typhoons around, there is the ITCZ to deal with. That's a band of really crappy weather that oscillates up and down across the archipelago. So no matter where you go, there will always be periods of days or even weeks when VFR flying is iffy at best, even way down south.
