Saipan in October By our data this has the most rainy days of the year. Super Typhoon Yutu struck Saipan and Tinian on 24 and 25 October 2018, and most buildings in southern Saipan lost their roofs or were destroyed. Despite the rain it stays warm, so you still dress for summer.
Highs averaged 30°C and lows stayed at 25°C, so the heat hung on long after sunset. Rain was a regular part of the month, showing up on 23 days on average. A visitor in 2015 met 15 rain days; one in 2020 met 29. The average of 23 hid that gap.
25 days past 30°C made it a month for early starts and a long lunch indoors.
Typhoons i 7 of the last 20 years had a tropical storm pass within 300 km this month.

With rain every other day, a waterproof jacket is a necessity, not extra luggage. One compact umbrella is enough besides.
