A couple of rainshowers and thunderstorms are expected throughout the week. The rainy season signals the start of the off-peak period in Boracay which means lesser crowd in the island than usual. The skies are often cloudy, the water current and winds are strong, and rain showers come more often during the months of June to October. Extra caution is necessary when in the waters. Some water activities are not advisable when there is downpour or when water current is too rough.

The strong water current due to the start of habagat or the southwest monsoon season sometimes washes up jellyfish on shore at the White Beach. People are advised against picking up jellyfish as some of them could have deadly stings. Those who got stung by a jellyfish should put vinegar on the affected area. Lifeguards of the Philippine Red Cross stationed in Stations 1 to 3 have available first aid kits for immediate medication.
