Ibiza (Eivissa) in October
Around 20.5 °C by day, sea 23.2 °C. Warm enough to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 5.
October on Ibiza is the month the island switches off. Water at 23.2 °C, warmer than in June (22.6 °C), air at 20.5 °C, and tourist load drops to 2 out of 5 against 5 in August. The clubs close for winter, and with them go the four thousand people who come every summer to work in them.
What starts then is a different island, less written about: Ibiza scores 3 out of 5 for winter liveability, so life does not stop, it changes who is in it. The square metre meanwhile appraises at €5,435, above Palma (€3,792), and nobody is paying that for the winter. October is the one month when you see both at once: summer water and an autumn town.

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: 45 rainy days a year, 66% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
