The climate in and around Sangat Island – and indeed most of the Philippines – is typically experienced as three distinct seasons: a warm and generally dry autumn season (October through March), a hot/dry summer season (April through June), and a cool/wet tropical monsoon season (July through September).

Ambient temperatures during the hot and dry summer season of April through June historically hover within the 30° to 37° C range. Temperatures throughout the rest of the year (July through February) seldom rise above 25° C.
