Average temperature across Algeria in October.
Algiers, Oran, Béjaïa
October often feels like a short second spring: mild, comfortable days in the high teens to low 20s and the first heavier rain spells return later in the month. The cultural calendar revives with city festivals in Algiers and Oran; umbrella and waterproof shoes will keep beach and town explorations hassle-free when rainy fronts arrive.
Tizi Ouzou, Béjaïa, Constantine
October offers crisp air and clear skies across the Kabylie ranges, with comfortable daytime temperatures around 18-22°C and golden hillsides. Cultural events and harvest activity create good opportunities to visit markets around Béjaïa and Tizi Ouzou; pack a waterproof layer for the occasional autumn shower.
Sétif, Batna, M’Sila
October brings marked cooling, dry air and clear skies with daytime temperatures around 15-20°C; nights get colder rapidly. Harvest activity in rural areas gives markets fresh produce, and it’s an agreeable time for driving the plateau roads; pack warmer clothes for early-morning exploration.
Ghardaïa, Timimoun, El Oued, Touggourt
October offers very comfortable desert days around the mid-20s and cooler nights; it’s one of the best months for photography and long drives between oases such as Ghardaïa and Timimoun. Local festivals and market activity return to normal rhythm and it’s an excellent window for visiting salt pans and ksars without extreme heat.
Tamanrasset, Djanet, Tassili n’Ajjer
October brings cooler days and pleasantly cold nights; temperatures are typically in the high teens to low 20s by day with strong sunshine. This is a popular month for guided desert treks and photographic tours of Tassili n’Ajjer and Hoggar ridgelines - pack layers for morning and evening temperature swings.
