Visiting
When to go
Twelve months of rainfall and temperature against harvest and festival dates, so the trade-off is visible rather than asserted.
The best time to visit Lobo, Batangas is December to May, with February to April the driest and calmest. July is the wettest month at around 163 mm. September is wet but carries the atis harvest peak and the Anihan Festival. Typhoon risk runs roughly July to October.

Annual rainfall is about 1142 mm across roughly 208 days with measurable rain. These are modelled figures, not observations from a station in Lobo, and are marked secondary for that reason.
Choosing
For snorkelling and diving, come in the dry months: the water is clearest and the sea calmest, and shore entry over the pebble beaches is easiest. For atis and the Anihan Festival, come in the last week of September and accept the rain. For the lighthouse, any dry afternoon works.
The road caveat
Heavy rain and typhoons affect the mountain road between Batangas City and Lobo, which is the practical constraint on wet-season travel. Current road notes are on how to get to Lobo, and a two-day plan is on two days in Lobo.
