Comfortable for walking, cool when you stop

The temperature is manageable for outdoor time in suitable clothing, but sitting outside may feel chilly, particularly towards evening. Pack layers you can remove while walking, plus a warmer outer layer for later. The warmest days can reach 19.8°C or more, so a mild afternoon is possible, but it should be a bonus rather than the basis of your packing. At the colder end, nights can fall to 3°C or below. That makes a warm jumper a sensible choice even if the forecast looks fairly mild. October is better suited to travellers who enjoy being active in cool air than those hoping to spend the day in light summer clothes.

Rain is the main compromise

Wet weather is the stronger reason to hesitate. With about 12 rainy days, a waterproof jacket and shoes that cope with wet ground are more useful than packing solely for crisp, dry autumn weather. Rain need not rule out the trip, but a tightly scheduled outdoor holiday leaves little room to adapt. Keep your plans flexible and use dry spells when they arrive. Sunshine averages about 3.2 hours within 10.6 hours of daylight, so daylight should not be confused with clear skies. You can still plan daytime outings, but do not count on bright weather throughout. This is a month for accepting weather changes rather than expecting reliable sunshine.
