1. Climate in Fuerteventura in October – weather forecast

In the Canary Islands, the climate varies little between seasons. However, it varies from island to island.

Fuerteventura is one of the islands closest to Africa. It’s also one of the least rainy. The climate is relatively warm and dry all year round.

Temperatures in October are around 23°C (73°F) and there’s hardly any rain. The Canary Current, which runs between Morocco and Fuerteventura, keeps the sea cool in all seasons. Like the rest of the year, the winds are very present. Note that Fuerteventura is sometimes hit by the calima, a wind laden with sand from the Sahara that can raise temperatures and sometimes cause a yellow haze to appear.

Are you more of a hiking fan? Enjoy the mountains without hesitation. On the other hand, take extra care in dry weather.

6. Wind in Fuerteventura in October

The wind blows all year round on the Canary Islands. That’s because they’re located in the Atlantic Ocean, with no surrounding obstacles to stop it. Fuerteventura is the windiest. It’s nicknamed “the island of the winds”. Don’t worry: it won’t interfere with tourist activities. What’s more, October is the least windy month of the year.

The wind blows the most on the open spaces and seashores, but the wind you feel also depends on your position on the island and the direction in which it blows.

The trade winds cool the air during the hot seasons. They also guarantee constant waves along the coast. We also enjoy water sports such as surfing and windsurfing. Also blows the chergui, a warm wind from Africa.

Several times a year, the latter transforms into a calima, a wind laden with dust and sand from the Sahara. It raises temperatures and affects visibility, but generally doesn’t prevent you from enjoying the island. Above all, it is less frequent in autumn.
