October weather forecast
Micronesia

October in Micronesia represents the transition away from the peak of the tropical wet season, though the weather remains characteristically warm and wet. This month also marks the end of the period with the highest typhoon risk, though the potential for severe weather events remains relatively high.

The average temperatures during October continue to range between 28°C (82.4°F) and 31°C (87.8°F), maintaining the warmth experienced in the preceding months. This is consistent across the islands of Pohnpei, Kosrae, and the northern outer islands, all contributing to the pervasive humidity of the season.

Rainfall in October starts to gradually decrease compared to September, marking the beginning of the transition towards the drier part of the year. The average precipitation across the country ranges from 400mm (15.75") to 450mm (17.72"), with certain islands, like Pohnpei, continuing to record rainfall above the national average due to their specific climatic conditions.

Compared to September, October experiences similar temperature ranges but a slight decrease in rainfall. Despite this, October remains within the typhoon season, and the risk of severe weather events, while reduced from September, continues to be significant. The climate in October represents the gradual shift towards the cooler and less rainy 'winter' period of the Micronesian year.
