Weather in Lárisa in October

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, October is the one. Highs average 23.8 °C, lows 13.2 °C, and rain falls on 7 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

October ranks 3 of 12 in Lárisa. Only April scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain on 7 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

The averages here are honest — no hidden extremes worth planning around. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest October day reached 36 °C and the coldest night fell to 3.5 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 35 mm — roughly 65% of the month's rain in one day.

October is moderately variable: 3 mm in the driest year against 141 mm in the wettest, around an average of 54 mm. Roughly two Octobers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 6.3 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 69%.

How October sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 5.9 °C cooler than September, with November dropping another 5.8 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in October

11.2 hours of daylight, losing 1.3 hours across the month. That is between Lárisa's extremes of 15 and 9.4 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 32.7 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

October in Lárisa versus nearby

If Lárisa is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Volos is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.9 °C cooler, the same number of rain days. Thessaloníki is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.6 °C cooler, the same number of rain days.

So: October is effectively as good as it gets here — 3 points behind April, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
