Batanes. Yes, there’s such a thing as Ivatan “winter”–minus the snow, of course. According to anthropologist Francisco A. Datar of U.P. Diliman, Batanes “is classified as having Type A climate, a pleasant semi-temperate climate.” The Ivatans recognize two seasons: rayun (summer), which lasts from March to May, and amian (winter) from November to February. Kachachimuyen is the rainy months throughout the rest of the year, interrupted by a brief spell of warm weather (dekey a rayun) in the two weeks between September and October. The “winter,” as most Ivatans would like to call it, can have temperatures as low as 7 °Celsius!
