Is June Right for You?
Weigh the advantages and considerations before booking
Advantages
- + June lands between dry-season m0bs and July's drench. Rooms booked solid in April open up. Prices haven't crashed to September lows yet. Grab them.
- + March-May pine pollen finally settles. Views snap into focus. From Session Road the Cordillera Central jumps out clean. On sharp mornings you can watch Ifugao rice terraces flash sunlight 50 km (31 miles) away.
- + Strawberry season peaks now. La Trinidad farms run fat and sweet. Berries cost less. Tour buses haven't stripped the rows bare like December.
- + University of Baguio and Saint Louis University empty. Burnham Park boats dock without 45-minute waits. Wright Park horses stand ready. No queues.
Considerations
- − Afternoon storms hit fast. One minute you're digging through ukay-ukay sweaters on Harrison Road. Next you're trapped under tin while marble hail skitters across asphalt.
- − Fog drops visibility to 20 m (66 ft) on Kennon Road after 4 pm. Drive up from Manila before lunch. Arrive late and you'll sleep in Rosario.
- − Ukay-ukay bins empty early. New stock lands Monday morning. Serious thrifters know. By Saturday it's scraps and torn seams.
Best Activities in June
Top things to do during your visit
La Trinidad Strawberry Farm Tours
June berries hit peak sugar. Fields blaze red against green mountains. Morning air smells like simmering jam. The 6 km (3.7 mile) climb from Bagiao proper climbs vegetable terraces stacked like green stairs into cloud. Pick 7-9 am. Heat turns fields into saunas later.
Booking Tip: Gates open 6:30 am. Owners close when they're tired of people. No reservations. Pay at the gate. Show up early.
Camp John Hay Eco-Trail Hiking
The 3.2 km (2 mile) loop stays cool under 200-year-old pines. Temperature sinks to 18°C (64°F) even at noon. June fog turns the trail into a cloud forest. Needles underfoot smell like Christmas in the tropics. Giant ferns and pitcher plants appear only above 1,500 m (4,900 ft).
Booking Tip: Hit the trail by 7 am. Afternoon storms slick red clay into a slide. Guides optional. Hire one to spot hidden World War II bunker mouths.
Mines View Park Photography Sessions
Clear June skies deliver the money shot. Old Itogon copper mines glint 600 m (1,970 ft) below. Cordillera ranges roll to the horizon like frozen waves. Igorot elders in wanes pose for coins. Strawberry taho vendor cooks syrup hourly.
Booking Tip: Golden hour runs 5:30-6:15 pm. Valley glows amber. Temperature dips until breath shows. Mornings work too. You'll share the ledge with 20 Korean tourists.
Session Road Bar Hopping
June nights carry mountain chill. Locals call it sweater weather. Hoodies emerge. Session Road's stone façades host a bar crawl that feels more Colorado than Philippines. Live music drifts from second-floor balconies. Grilled corn and barbecue smoke lace the pine air.
Booking Tip: Most bars skip cover charges. Good bands start at 9 pm. Begin uphill on Session. Walk down. Gravity and three San Miguels make navigation easier.
Baguio City Market Cooking Classes
June delivers the final flush of highland vegetables. Broccoli tastes like broccoli. Strawberries arrive warm from the field. Morning classes start with market walks. Learn to spot produce that skipped the six-hour truck ride. Lessons run in home kitchens where altitude drops the boiling point to 94°C (201°F). Rice timing shifts. Coffee extraction changes.
Booking Tip: Classes run 8 am-1 pm to dodge storms. Book 3-4 days ahead. June is calm but top instructors cap at four students.

Essential Tips
Insider knowledge and common pitfalls to avoid
Insider Knowledge
New ukay-ukay bins drop Monday 6 am. Real treasure hides in the damage pile. Stained items cost 20 pesos. Most clean up fine.
Taxi drivers quote double-meter specials. Insist on the meter. Walk 100 m (330 ft) and flag another cab.
Best strawberry taho waits outside Saint Louis University gate at 6:30 am. Vendor sells out by 7:15 to students.
Skip tourist-shop strawberry wine. Locals buy from La Trinidad cooperative store. Same bottle. Half the price.
Avoid These Mistakes
Avoid Marcos Highway hotels for mountain views. June fog blanks the glass 80% of the time. You'll stare at grey.
Never start up Kennon Road after 2 pm. Afternoon fog erases visibility. Guards wave you back down.
The berries on Session Road are yesterday's haul from La Trinidad. They soften by the hour. Buy early. Eat today.

What is Baguio like in June?
June is the start of the rainy season in Baguio, with afternoon showers most days and temperatures ranging from 15-23°C (59-73°F). The rain keeps crowds lighter than peak summer months, and the pine forests look green. You'll need a light jacket for evenings and a good umbrella. But hotel rates drop compared to April and May.
Does it rain a lot in Baguio during June?
Yes, June marks the beginning of the southwest monsoon season, with rain falling on about 20-25 days of the month. Most rain comes as afternoon thunderstorms rather than all-day downpours, so mornings are often clear enough for sightseeing. Burnham Park and Session Road stay walkable. But bring waterproof shoes.
Is June a good time to visit Baguio?
June is a solid choice if you don't mind rain and want fewer tourists. Accommodation costs 20-30% less than during Holy Week or summer vacation, and popular spots like Mines View Park and The Mansion aren't crowded. The cooler, misty weather adds atmosphere, though outdoor activities like hiking get muddy.
What should I pack for Baguio in June?
Pack layers: a light waterproof jacket, long pants, and closed-toe shoes that dry quickly. Mornings can be cool (around 15°C), afternoons warm up, then evenings get chilly again. A compact umbrella is essential, and bring a sweater for air-conditioned buses and restaurants.
Are strawberry farms open in Baguio during June?
Most strawberry farms in La Trinidad (just outside Baguio) have limited fruit in June because it falls between the main harvest seasons of January-March and November-December. Some farms stay open for strawberry jam and other products. But picking your own strawberries isn't reliable this month.
What festivals happen in Baguio in June?
June doesn't have major city-wide festivals in Baguio, the Panagbenga Flower Festival happens in February, and most local fiestas fall in other months. Check the calendar at Saint Louis University or the Baguio Cathedral for smaller religious celebrations or community events during your visit.
How crowded is Baguio in June compared to summer?
June sees about 40-50% fewer visitors than April and May, when Philippine schools are on summer break. Session Road restaurants and cafes stay busy on weekends. But you won't face long lines at popular spots like Good Shepherd or Cafe by the Ruins. Weekdays are quiet.
Can I still hike in Baguio during June?
You can hike. But trails like Mount Ulap and Timbac get muddy and slippery from the rain. Early morning starts give you the best chance of dry conditions before afternoon storms roll in. Skip technical climbs unless you're experienced in wet conditions, stick to easier walks like Botanical Garden trails instead.
