How to read this October ranking
A strong fit means our records show high October suitability for that destination, weighed together with trip fit and on-the-ground costs. It is not a dry-weather guarantee and not a forecast: conditions vary between a country's cities, coasts and islands. Daily figures are estimates for being there and exclude international flights.
