Nice in October

Anyone got any idea about the temp in Nice in mid Oct? Is it still beachtemperatures?

Thanks.

October is a fine month in Nice. You see people in the water up until X-mas. The beach life in October is still in pretty much full swing. The weather is nice and generally quite warm, say around 25°-30° C. Also November, and for that matter the whole winter, is fine, IMO.

Thanks. Thinking about renting an apartment somewhere. Do you recommend somewhere special? Hotels are also considered.

NiklasB seems to be talking about a different Nice to the one I know. We have spent the third week of October in Nice/Villefranche in each of the last six years. The weather has been pleasant but nothing remotely like 30C. If you look at the weather records you will see that the average daily max for Nice is 29C in August and 20C in October. In fact the record October max since records began is 29C with a minimum of -1C.

It is likely that you would get some pleasant weather with temps ranging from about 10C early morning to 20C in the afternoon but some rainy days are quite possible. Sea temperatures will have dropped to around 20 from the August high of 25 and very few people will be swimming at that time.

I was in Nice last week when the only way to be comfortable was to be in the sea. October will be much better for seeing the many sights of the area but not for a beach based holiday.

Greetings Hemmigar,

I don%26#39;t want to rain on your parade, but October can be balmy and quite comfortable, but a few years ago, I spent almost 3 weeks in major rain, every day. It%26#39;s truly the luck of the draw. Just prepare for all contingencies. I also went swimming one October, so there%26#39;s hope. Whatever, you%26#39;re in Nice, and that%26#39;s what really matters. Just

enjoy!

Right now 20C sounds good to me! Here it northern California its 102F at the moment, down from 111 yesterday. What%26#39;s it like in Nice now?

Temps in Nice and London have been pretty much identical for the last couple of weeks at around 30/32C. There was a long period in early summer when London was consistently warmer than Nice. For the first time in my life I am beginning to look forward to autumn.
