While autumn arrives at home, the Algarve is still enjoying an Indian summer. October is a wonderful month for a holiday: warm, sunny and quiet. Ideal if you want a bit more sunshine during the autumn half-term.
The weather in October
In October it averages around 23 degrees during the day. Most days are sunny, although towards the end of the month there may be the occasional shower. The evenings get a little cooler, so bring a cardigan.
Can you still swim?
Yes. The sea is still around 20 degrees in October, thanks to the warm summer. For many people that is fine for swimming.
What to do in October?
- Beach: the beaches are quiet and the water is still pleasant.
- Walking: the temperature is ideal for the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail.
- Golf: October is one of the most popular golf months. Read golf in the Algarve from your villa.
- Day trips: to Silves, Monchique or Sagres, now that it is less hot.
