Our new study has revealed the UK holiday destination with the least rain in October.

The research was conducted by comparing the average days of rain in October against the most popular holiday destinations in the UK. The top destinations were determined for having the least days of rain per month, meaning holidaymakers will have a better chance of a sunnier half-term holiday.

It was revealed that Brighton is the least-rainy holiday destination in October, with 10 days of rain on average. It was closely followed by Lowestoft and Eastbourne, which see 10 and 12 days on average respectively.

Below are the full results of the research:
