Iloilo City sits in the Visayas, the central Philippine islands that lie squarely in the path of typhoons crossing from the Pacific, with a wet season running roughly from June through December.
On Panay Island, the city’s Iloilo River has a history of serious flooding during intense typhoon rainfall, including major floods in 2008. Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), which devastated this region in 2013 with one of the strongest storms ever recorded at landfall, remains the reference event for how catastrophic a direct typhoon strike can be here, and radar tracking of a storm’s exact path is essential given how quickly conditions can change.
