Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at Corralejo, 31 km from the airport (FUE): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

October: busier than usual. Busiest in January, February and November; quietest in April, May and July.

Public holidays in October

Holidays crowd a place out and push fares up around them; they count toward the crowd score above.

What to pack

  • Sun protection: about 10 hours of sunshine a day.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.

Before you go

Type C and F plugs at 230 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Euro. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Everything for Spain: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

On arrival in Fuerteventura: the apps, paying, getting around, tipping and the emergency numbers.
