Autumn's rewards in October
October offers so many possibilities. In parts of southern Africa, wildlife activity increases as landscapes shift towards the end of the dry season. Across North Africa in Egypt, daytime temperatures become far more comfortable for exploring ancient sites.
Spring brings colour and energy across the Southern Hemisphere, while along parts of the Mediterranean like Spain, you can still enjoy warm days without high season crowds.
Where autumn meets winter sun
November is a month of shifting travel patterns. Autumn colours reach their peak in parts of East Asia, while across South and Southeast Asia dry season conditions start to settle in. Daytime temperatures become far more comfortable in Qatar, while Mexico enters one of its most reliable weather periods.
