The National Centre of Meteorology has released its weather forecast for October.
In its climate summary, the national weather bureau said October is one of the second transitional period months between summer and winter, usually characterised by sharp and rapid change in weather conditions.
"Temperatures begin to decrease significantly especially during the second half of this month compared to September. Southeasterly winds prevail during late nights and mornings, becoming northwesterly during afternoons and evenings due to effect of the land/sea breeze circulation," the NCM said.
Relative humidity will tend to be high in the early morning, gradually decreasing as the sun appears, then increasing again after sunset.
Mean relative humidity will reach approximately 51%, with more chances of fog formation especially during mid-nights and early morning periods. In addition, convective clouds may develop over some areas during this month, especially the eastern parts, and may occasionally be accompanied by rainfall.
