Italy Amalfi Weather in October — Climate Guide
October in Amalfi is high
October is high for Amalfi.
October is the gentle close of the season — mild at around 23°C/15°C, with rising rainfall (130mm) as autumn sets in.
Early October is still a lovely shoulder-season window: warm enough for comfortable sightseeing and hiking, the crowds and prices noticeably down, and the early-month sea still swimmable for the hardy. The Path of the Gods, Ravello's gardens, and ferry trips are all pleasant in the softer autumn light.

Amalfi in October — Full Picture
October is the gentle close of the season — mild at around 23°C/15°C, with rising rainfall (130mm) as autumn sets in.
Early October is still a lovely shoulder-season window: warm enough for comfortable sightseeing and hiking, the crowds and prices noticeably down, and the early-month sea still swimmable for the hardy. The Path of the Gods, Ravello's gardens, and ferry trips are all pleasant in the softer autumn light.
As the month goes on, the coast begins to wind down. From late October, some hotels, restaurants, and ferry routes start closing for the winter, and the weather grows wetter and cooler. It's a good idea to confirm openings and keep flexible plans, especially for Positano and Ravello.
It's a quieter, better-value time than summer, with autumn colors and the lemon harvest on the terraces. Pack layers, a sweater, and an umbrella for the increasing showers, and treat the warm, clear days as the season's last gift before the off-season.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Mild autumn — around 23°C/15°C. Light layers, a sweater or light jacket, and an umbrella for autumn showers. Pleasant for walking; the sea is cooling but still swimmable for the hardy early in the month.
