The climate on the island of Sulawesi in october ranges from good to bad depending on the region and city.
Although it is not perfect the weather in Sulawesi that month is, according to seasonal norms, quite good in Sengkang, Palopo, Wakatobi Regency, Kendari and Buton. I allows to appreciate vacation in these cities. And even why not take a little time to relax under the sun!
If you do not go the sun and blue sky, but, for example for cultural tours or hiking, the cities of Lembeh, Bitung, Polewali, Luwuk, Gorontalo, Parepare, Ampana, Togian Islands, Sangihe Islands, Mamasa and Enrekang have a quite correct weather for it in october. Finally, we advise you to avoid you get in the cities of Makassar, Bunaken Island, Selayar, Manado, Tondano, Tomohon, Palu, Mamuju and Bulukumba in october because the climate is rather unfavorable.
