October on Formentera is the lights going off. The island lives four months a year, and from October almost everything closes: restaurants, rental shops, some of the shops. There is no airport; you arrive by ferry from Ibiza. The winter score is 1 out of 5 — the bottom of the scale, shared with six places in the base. That is a description, not a complaint. For a holiday the island is wonderful; to live on it, see it in January.

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: 40 rainy days a year, 72% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
