If you’re planning a trip to Corfu in October, expect a mix of warm, sunny days and the first proper autumn showers. The live forecast above gives you the current picture, but historically, daytime highs hover around 23–25°C, with sea temperatures still pleasant for swimming, especially early in the month.
What’s the weather really like in Corfu during October?
October is a transitional month on the island. The first half often delivers plenty of sunshine, with temperatures that can still reach the mid-20s Celsius. By late October and into November, the chance of rain increases, and the evenings turn noticeably cooler. You’ll get about seven hours of sunshine daily, and the Ionian Sea remains swimmable at around 22°C. For historical context, Crete Weather shows a similar pattern, though Corfu tends to be slightly wetter.
Should I pack for sun or rain?
Pack for both. Light layers, a waterproof jacket, and comfortable walking shoes are your best bet. You’ll still want swimwear for the warmer days, especially if you’re visiting before mid-October. If you’re comparing destinations, Malta Weather tends to stay drier and warmer into late autumn.
Is Corfu still warm in October for swimming?
Yes, the sea retains summer warmth at around 22°C, which is comfortable for most swimmers. Early October offers the best conditions before the water begins to cool later in the month.
How does Corfu weather in October compare to September?
September is significantly hotter and drier, with highs of 28°C and minimal rain. October sees a drop of 3–5°C and roughly double the rainfall, but it remains pleasant for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
Is a 14-day forecast reliable for Corfu in October?
No forecast is fully reliable that far ahead. For a general trend, check 10 Day Weather Forecast UK or a service like AccuWeather, but be prepared for changes as the month progresses.
