October weather forecast
Spain

October heralds the arrival of true autumn in Spain, bringing with it noticeable shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns. Days become shorter, temperatures drop, and the landscape begins to transition, highlighting the changing season.

In the northern regions, including the Pyrenees and the Basque Country, temperatures continue to fall, with averages ranging between 14°C (57.2°F) to 18°C (64.4°F). These regions start to experience chillier nights and shorter daylight hours. Similarly, the Atlantic Coastal regions, such as Asturias and Galicia, witness an average temperature drop to 17°C (62.6°F), indicative of the cooler oceanic climate.

The central regions of Spain, including the Meseta Central, also see a decline in temperature, with averages from 18°C (64.4°F) to 22°C (71.6°F). The change in season brings a significant cooling effect, particularly noticeable in the evenings.

In the southern and southeastern regions, the extended summer finally gives way to autumn, with average temperatures dropping to 24°C (75.2°F). These regions, including cities like Seville and Malaga, begin to experience more comfortable and less intense heat.

The Canary Islands, meanwhile, continue to enjoy temperate weather, with average temperatures between 21°C (69.8°F) and 24°C (75.2°F), reinforcing their status as an ideal year-round holiday destination.

October sees an uptick in precipitation across Spain, with the traditionally wetter northwestern coast receiving around 110mm (4.33") of rainfall. The central regions register an average of 40mm (1.57"), while the typically drier southern and southeastern regions, along with the eastern Canary Islands, record around 15mm (0.59"), signaling a shift from their predominantly dry summer conditions.

Compared to September, October ushers in more pronounced autumn conditions with a further decrease in temperatures and an increase in precipitation. As October transitions into November, Spain braces for colder temperatures, higher rainfall, and the onset of winter.
