Menorca in October
Around 19.5 °C by day, sea 23.1 °C. Warm enough to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 5.
October on Menorca is 19.5 °C by day and 23.1 °C in the sea. You can still swim, and load has already dropped from the summer 5 to 3 out of 5.
October on Menorca is a short window in which the island is both warm and empty. After it comes a long winter: load is 1 out of 5 from December to February, and the winter scores run from 1 to 3. What to look at is the difference between the two towns. Maó has a hospital 6 minutes away and an airport 8, with a square metre at €2,981 on the ministry's appraisal. Ciutadella, at the other end, has the hospital 45 minutes off and the airport 45, and costs €4,077 — more money for worse access. The island is small, and that difference in travel decides.

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: 55 rainy days a year, 73% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
