Alicante in October
Around 20 °C by day, sea 22.9 °C. Warm enough to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 4.
October in Alicante is 20 °C by day and 22.9 °C in the sea. The swimming season is still running: the water is above twenty degrees.
October is the last month with the sea above twenty and the first quiet one: load falls from the summer 4 to 3 out of 5. For anyone viewing flats that is a lucky overlap: the weather still allows a full day on foot, and owners and agencies are back from holiday. What to check is dryness: 34 rainy days a year here, fewer than Málaga (46), Valencia (55) or Barcelona (56), and winter humidity of 65%. For a flat without heating that is a noticeable difference.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 34 rainy days a year, 65% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
