October Med Weather

[markfull]

We're doing the Mediterranian Gems cruise on Explorer 2 from Naples 9th Oct.

 

This is the 1st time we've done the Med and are wondering what the weather is likely to be like at this time of year, so we know what to pack!

 

We're looking forward to it (except the reported chaos at Naples airport!!). Normally do the trans-atlantic with P&O but have done TUI once before (before the Marella days) to Norway and we fancied a change!

The weather will still be very pleasant at that time of year, still warm enough for shorts and T-shirt’s but take along a light fleece and a light waterproof as well. It gets cooler quicker in the evenings but you will be back on the ship by then.

 

If you go inland for a tour then take bug repellent as the little horrors are still active in October, I have had the bites to prove it.

 

have fun.

Pack layers. Weather can be fantastic but prep for showers. Take compact brolly for sightseeing and/or Packamacs. Also a wrap, jacket or cardi for evenings when the sun goes down it can be cool and breezy when ship puts on knots at sea. Hth

Should still be pleasantly warm with temperatures around 22-24 degrees but goes cooler as soon as the sun starts to go down around 4 p.m. and can feel quite chilly in an evening. 

 

October is statistically the wettest month here in the Med but luckily rainfall generally comes in short/very sharp showers rather than prolonged downpours and the sun comes out again as soon as the rain stops - carry a fold-up umbrella in your bag and you will be fine
