Benidorm Weather in October

What’s the weather like in Benidorm in October?

Benidorm’s location on southeast Spain’s Mediterranean coastline means the city enjoys a lovely climate with long hot summers that stretch out into October. Temperatures start to cool in October and there’s a bit more rain than over summer, but Benidorm holidays are still popular well into autumn.

Geographical influences

Benidorm gets well over 300 days of sunshine throughout the year, and its weather’s made even better by the mountains that surround the city, which make it warmer and clearer than other nearby places. The Serra Gelada Mountains to the east  protect Benidorm from winds, and are also great for exploring. The heat and sun can sometimes lead to forest fires, although there’s less risk in October than in the peak summer months.
