The autumn season may still be several months away, but it is never too early to start planning your next break.
October is usually on the chilly side in the UK, with temperatures dropping to a daily high of around 14C and conditions mostly being overcast with hints of rain.
If the cooler weather isn’t for you, October is a great time to head abroad as you will miss the summer rush, meaning prices should generally be cheaper since you are travelling off peak - providing you miss the October half-term holidays.
So if you are keen on escaping to soak up some autumnal sun this year, here are a few destinations you could visit where the weather will still be lovely and hot.
