Plenty of heat, with little relief at night

The warmth is a substantial step up from a British October, but humidity of 80% is the catch. Light, loose clothing will be more useful than heavy layers, and air conditioning is worth prioritising when choosing accommodation. Plan anything energetic for earlier in the day rather than midday, leaving room for shade and breaks. Around 44% of days reach 30°C, so the average high is not just an occasional warm spell. Evenings remain warm rather than turning fresh, with average lows of 26°C. If you struggle to sleep in heat or prefer walking without feeling sticky, October is a less comfortable fit.

Allow for rain rather than expecting uninterrupted sun

Expect about 8 rainy days during October, so a completely dry holiday is not something to count on. Keep your plans flexible and pack a light waterproof that will not feel too heavy in the heat. There are about 6 hours of sunshine within 11.7 hours of daylight: enough to make outdoor time appealing, but not a promise of clear skies throughout the day. The monthly figures do not tell you when rain will fall or how long it will last, so avoid building plans around an assumed daily shower pattern. October works best if you are happy to adjust outdoor time around the weather.
