What should I pack for a holiday in Cyprus in October?
Pack cool, comfortable clothing for a warm climate, alongside a couple of light jackets and perhaps a raincoat. While temperatures aren't quite as scorching as they are during the summer months, it can get hotter at certain times during the day, so it's a good idea to bring a hat to protect your head from the sun.

How warm is it in Cyprus during October?
The temperature reaches around 27℃ during the daytime in October, falling away to 20℃ at night. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Cyprus during October?
On average, there will be 3 rainy days during the month, amounting to 51.4mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
