10 Warm and Affordable Destinations for October
- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: October avg high: 82F/28C
If you have missed your chance to visit Rio during Olympics you can try now since the weather will be still nice by almost anyone’s standards. Another benefit about October in Rio is that it’s part of the dead zone for hotel prices so you’ll be able to get very good deals this month.
- Lisbon, Portugal: October avg high: 72F/22C
With a longer summer than almost anywhere else in Europe, Lisbon is still quite pleasant even toward the end of October. Days will be warm, nights will be warm enough, and rain is very intermittent. And we can offer some nice packages.
- Athens, Greece: October avg high: 74F/23C
October is probably the best single month of the year to visit Athens. The temperatures are quite nice all day and all night, and the massive summer crowds are long gone. The high season for hotels ends at the end of September, so some good deals can be found, even at some of the nicer places.
- Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain: October avg high: 79F/25C
If you want literally perfect beach weather in Europe, then Tenerife is your best choice in October. Okay, so it’s actually off the coast of Africa, but it’s part of Spain so it’s technically Europe. The largest and most English-speaking of the Canary Islands, this is a place to book a cheap flight to relax in the sun, rather than explore the culture.
- Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt: October average high: 89°F/32°C
Sharm el-Sheikh is a guaranteed place for warm and dry weather every day of the month. This Red Sea beach resort has been very popular at times, and out of favor for security reasons at other times. Unfortunately, a single incident can cause people to avoid it for a year or more, and when that happens it’s even cheaper than usual.
- Fez, Morocco: October avg high: 75F/24C
Things are even warmer in nearby Marrakech, so either one is a good choice in October. The cities have quite a few similarities so many people are better off just choosing one or the other and spending more time there, but those with more time could enjoy visiting both.
- Amman, Jordan: October avg high: 80F/27C
October is definitely one of the best few months for a visit Amman and to Jordan in general. Daytime temperatures are guaranteed to be reasonable while nights are still warm enough to really enjoy yourself. There’s also pretty much zero chance of any rain this month, so it’s an ideal balance before the slightly chilly months in winter.
- Goa, India: October avg high: 89F/31C
October is the first month in Goa where rain isn’t much of an issue, so it’s a perfect time to visit before the masses start arriving in November and December. You can expect warm and sunny days, and pleasant evenings, with only a couple quick downpours each week. But again, the best thing is that the deals are excellent even though the weather is quite good this month.
- Montego Bay, Jamaica: October avg high: 88F/31C
If you want some exotics then Jamaica is all about it. Montego Bay resorts are near low prices for the whole year, and have perfect weather most of the time. Except the weather, you will meet nice Jamaican atmosphere.
- Beirut, Lebanon: October avg high: 80F/27C
Of course, Beirut is the city we should have mentioned. Generally this is a great month for weather, with evenings that are still warm enough to leave your pullover in your room. The hospitable capital of colorful Lebanon should be your next adventure.
