Warm days, but pack for cooler evenings

Light clothes should work well during the day, but October is not a month to pack only beachwear. The coldest 10% of nights fall to 12.1°C or below, so bring a jumper or light jacket and something warmer for sitting outside after dark. During the day, sunshine can still feel strong, particularly around midday; keep sun protection handy and take shade when you need it. With about 7.7 hours of sunshine within 11.0 hours of daylight, there is plenty of scope for outdoor plans. Use the daytime warmth for the beach rather than expecting evenings to feel equally comfortable.

Good swimming weather, with room for rain

The sea is a strong reason to choose October: it remains warm enough for swimming, so a beach-focused holiday is a reasonable plan. Rain is the main compromise, with about 6 rainy days during the month. That does not mean every wet day will be a washout, but it is sensible to bring a light waterproof and keep your plans flexible. Choose beach time when the forecast looks settled rather than saving it for later in your stay. October works best if you can accept some weather interruptions; it is less suitable if your holiday depends on sitting in sunshine every day.
