Paragliding in Oslob During Rainy Season
The Philippines' rainy season runs from roughly June to November. Does that mean no paragliding? Not at all. Here's the real story.
Short Answer: Yes, You Can Still Fly
Rainy season in Oslob doesn't mean constant rain. The weather pattern is typically: sunny mornings, rain in the afternoon, clear evenings. Many great flying days happen during rainy season — you just need to be flexible.
How Rainy Season Affects Paragliding
- More postponements — About 30-40% of days may be unflyable due to rain or strong winds.
- Morning flights are best — The window between 9 AM and 12 PM is usually clear, even during rainy season.
- Afternoon storms — Rain typically comes in the afternoon. If you fly in the morning, you'll usually be fine.
- Typhoons — During active typhoons, all flights are cancelled for safety. These typically last 1-3 days.
