Matsuyama in October

The Matsuyama Autumn Festival runs October 5 to 7, with mikoshi clashing in hachiawase at places such as in front of Dogo Onsen Station. The JMA calls October sunny and refreshing.

Highs of 24°C and lows of 15°C: short sleeves by day, with mild nights. 7 rain days in a typical October: noticeable, but most days stayed dry. Year to year it swung widely, from 3 rain days in 2006 to 15 in 2017.

Wet days did not mess around: about 16 mm each, the kind of rain that drives you into a doorway.
