Macau in October

The humidity drains away and the sky lifts. Rainy days drop clearly, and walking becomes enjoyable again. National Day on October 1 starts a holiday, so the first days tend to be crowded, and fireworks contest nights often fall around then. After the holiday it eases.

Highs averaged 29°C and lows stayed at 23°C, so the heat hung on long after sunset. Showers came now and then, about 6 rain days in all, and most of the month stayed dry. Counts moved moderately between years: 1 in 2013, 10 in 2021.

About 10 days a month still climbed past 30°C, the ones where you looked for shade. Each rainy day brought about 20 mm, closer to downpours than drizzle.
