Local context
What to expect in October
Autumn in Cinque Terre is often underrated: 18°F, golden light and declining crowds. An interesting window. Expect rain on 40% of days — a light raincoat in the bag is recommended. Not the best window, but acceptable if dates are constrained. July (8.8/10) is significantly better if possible.
