About Negros Philippines
Negros Oriental has a tropical climate. Because
of the mountain range running from the north to the south, the
province has two types of climatic conditions. The eastern part of
the province is characterized by unpronounced maximum rainfall with
a short dry season lasting from one to three months. The western
half of the province is characterized by a distinct wet season and
dry season. Also because of the mountain range, the province is
sheltered from the full impact of typhoons originating from the
southwest. However, the northern part of the province (from Canlaon
City to La Libertad) is in the path of typhoons from the east.
