Can anyone help?? Please!
 
We'll be going to Rome, Marseille, Majora, Casablanca and Lisbon the 19th through the 29th of October. Does anyone know or want to guess at what the weather is like at any of these places that time of the year?<BR>I know what it's like in the spring and summer, but I'm clueless about Oct.<BR>I've searched the internet, but all I've found is "mean" temperature and I don't know what that MEANS. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Mean temperature is the average temperature for that month. This should give you a good idea of what to expect.<BR>

www.weather.com and www.worldclimate.com are good resources for historical data on the weather. I can only speak to Rome in early October. It was actually still pretty hot during the day, but milder in the evenings.

"Mean" means average.

As you probably know, no information on past weather will guarantee the same kind of weather when you get there. The mean temperature is halfway between the high and the low for a given day. So a mean temperature of, say 50 degrees, could mean that high is 55 and low is 45; it could also mean that high is 85 and low is 15. Neither of these extremes would apply in your case, but they are examples. My projection, based on being there, is that you should have pretty nice highs around 65 degrees and lows around 45 degrees for all those places. If it rains, expect the high temperatures to be considerably lower.

Thanks all! That info should help.
