October weather forecast
East Timor

October in East Timor signals the transition from the dry season to the wetter monsoon season. There's a noticeable increase in rainfall compared to the preceding months, with the average precipitation in Dili rising to 70mm (2.76").

Despite the shift in rainfall, temperatures in October remain relatively stable, with the average high staying around 30°C (86°F) and the average low consistently near 24°C (75.2°F). The increasing rainfall, paired with the continued warm temperatures, results in a rise in humidity levels, marking a return to the typical tropical monsoon climate.

The weather across East Timor remains largely uniform, thanks to the country's compact size, with only slight temperature differences in the mountainous regions, particularly during the night.

As October transitions into November, rainfall continues to increase, while temperatures remain consistent, indicating the onset of the wet season.

October's weather conditions start to become less favorable for certain outdoor activities, with hiking trails becoming more challenging due to increased rainfall. However, the lush landscapes begin to thrive with the increased moisture, offering an even more vibrant view of East Timor's natural beauty. Marine activities, such as diving, may see a slight decrease in visibility due to the rising sediment in the waters.
