139 cities, one measured yardstick: average highs, rain days, rain hours and daylight from multi-year Open-Meteo records. 39 cities sit in the ideal band this month. Ranked by disclosed thresholds the skip list included.
October skews comfortable. Across TTDI's 87 measured cities, 26 land in the ideal comfort band and 33 in good. That puts the majority in the top two bands. The mixed band holds another 20, and only 8 register as difficult. Most cities fall in the favorable range, with 8 in difficult. That's the shape of October.
Las Vegas leads the October ranking with an average high of 28°C and 1 rain day. Petra follows at 25°C and 2 rain days. Los Angeles comes in at 27°C and 2 rain days. All 3 share warm, dry October conditions. Mykonos, San Francisco, Cappadocia, Athens, and Antalya round out the featured 8.
Only 8 of the 87 cities sit in the difficult band. If your plans include one, the comfort data for October signals conditions that likely won't cooperate.
Las Vegas leads October with an average high of 28°C and 1 rain day.
