October trade-offs
- ↓Moderate rainfall at 115mm — not bone-dry, some rainy days remain
- ↓Prices tick up from summer lows as the good-weather season is known to locals and international visitors alike
- ↓Typhoon season is statistically over but not impossible; a late storm can still affect the first week of October
November trade-offs
- ↓Sunshine hours drop slightly to 5 per day as the season progresses; cloud cover increases toward December
- ↓Some rain remains at 87mm — the same as January, so occasional grey days are part of the deal
- ↓Night temperatures drop to 17°C by month's end — evenings require a layer, especially in the mountains
