Averages for Fuerteventura in October

October sees the tourist season come to a close. During this month, the average daytime temperature drops down to 22 degrees Celsius while the seawater temperature still retains summertime warmth at 25 degrees. October sees temperature lows drop to about 19 degrees and high peaks reaching 25 degrees Celsius. The sky is cloudier than September and all the summer months, leading to 10 hours of daily sunshine on average. However, these clouds rarely bring rain during this month (they mostly pass the island and head towards Spain). Rainfall amounts to a bit more than 10mm of total precipitation and sprinkles the island for three days of the month. These rains mostly come at night and the island is dry again by midmorning.

The island is battered by frequent winds and October is no exception. However, winds are calm and breezy during this month, making the conditions ideal for relaxed sailing and learning water sports. People wishing to experience the strongest winds – probably to flex their water sports muscles - should visit during the winter months.
