Highs ease over the month, from about 27°C in the first days to 24°C by the end.

A typical October day in Rosetta reaches about 26°C in the afternoon and slips back to 22°C overnight — a 4°C spread between the day's warmth and the night's chill. On most days the high lands between 24°C and 28°C. Set against its neighbours, October runs about 2°C cooler than September and about 3°C warmer than November.
