Your October weather guide
WarmWeather in Torremolinos in October
October is a good choice for Torremolinos if you want warm days rather than guaranteed beach heat. Average daytime highs of 22.1°C suit time outdoors without planning everything around the heat, while nights averaging 15.5°C call for a light layer. The catch is the sea: at 19.4°C, it is bracing rather than comfortably warm. Go for a mild-weather break with flexible plans, not a holiday that depends on swimming every day.

Warm afternoons, cooler evenings
Pack for warmth during the day, but leave room for trousers and a jumper after sunset. October's average high makes light clothing a sensible starting point, although it does not mean every afternoon will feel summery. Around 12% of days reach 25°C, so hotter beach weather is possible rather than something to count on. At the cooler end, nights can fall to 12.7°C or below, making an extra layer useful if you plan to sit outside late. With about 5.8 hours of sunshine within 11.0 hours of daylight, there is scope for outdoor plans, but do not expect sunshine from morning until evening. Keep sun protection in your bag.
Keep beach and swimming plans flexible
Rain is a practical consideration rather than a reason to rule October out. There are about 7 rainy days during the month, so bring a light waterproof and allow yourself to rearrange outdoor plans. That figure does not tell you how rain will fall during your stay, or mean a wet day is necessarily a complete write-off. Swimming needs more caution: the average sea temperature is 19.4°C, with a year-to-year range of 18°C to 21°C. That remains in the bracing band, so it suits travellers comfortable with cooler water better than those wanting a leisurely warm swim. Treat the beach as an option when conditions appeal, rather than the foundation of the whole trip.
