Barcelona in October One of the wettest months of the year. The rain tends to pour hard for a short time and then stop rather than last all day. Tourist numbers fall and Sagrada Família tickets are easier to get.
Afternoons reached 23°C and nights settled at 15°C, warm enough to linger over lunch outdoors. Showers came now and then, about 6 rain days in all, and most of the month stayed dry. Counts moved moderately between years: 2 in 2014, 11 in 2012.
The warmest year was 2023, with highs averaging 25.2°C, 2.2°C above normal.
