Our guide to the weather in Turkey during October
Turkey is an interesting mix of culture, history and natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for Irish travellers, particularly in October when the weather is mild and there are plenty of activities to enjoy. We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Turkey, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Turkey weather in October.
What's the temperature like in Turkey during October?
The temperature reaches around 18℃ during the daytime in October, falling away to 9℃ at night. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.

On average, there will be 4 rainy days during the month, amounting to 43.2mm 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.
Is it windy in Turkey during October?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in October. With moderate humidity and mild air temperatures, the breeze will have a slight cooling effect.
