With the UK bracing for cloudy days, colder temperatures, and higher rainfall in October, several destinations abroad are anticipated to offer consistent sunshine. This period, with children back in school and many avoiding pre-Christmas holidays, is highlighted as a potentially affordable time for an autumn getaway.
Southern European cities, including Seville in Spain and Valletta in Malta, are expected to remain pleasantly warm. Seville is forecast to have an average October temperature of 21C with daily highs reaching 27C, while Valletta's average temperature is 24C with highs around 25C. Malta's annual Notte Bianca festival, an arts celebration, is set to take place on 3 October.
Further afield, Oahu, Hawaii, is expected to see an average temperature of 27C in October, with highs reaching 29C. Cyprus is also forecast to be one of Europe's warmer places, with average temperatures in the mid-20s. Sardinia, Italy, is predicted to have average temperatures of 18C, with highs climbing to 22C, and Portugal's Algarve region is expected to have an average of 23C.
