Tahiti in October marks the transition from dry to wet season. Temperatures remain warm, generally ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit (low to high 20s Celsius). Humidity increases, and rainfall becomes more frequent, though sunshine is still abundant. This period offers a balance between the drier months and the peak of the wet season.
This transitional period presents advantages for travelers seeking a less crowded experience with lower prices compared to the peak season. The warmer ocean temperatures are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and diving, while the lush landscapes benefit from the increased rainfall. Historically, October has held significance for Polynesian cultures, marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of preparations for the coming rains.
