Humidity in October?

Is it humid in Spain (specifically Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba, and Madrid) in early October? I have found sites that list average temperature, highs, lows, and precipitation but nothing so far about humidity.

Answering my own question here -- I discovered that weather.com includes Spain so I'll be able to get predictions for humidity for the first 10 days of my trip. That'll help me figure out what to bring. Yay!

I use wunderground.com. I previously checked the humidity levels for Sevilla, Córdoba and Barcelona using the dew point (to me >60 DP is humid, but I'm pretty intolerant of humidity). Here's a link, showing day by day over several years (scroll down to daily observations). It looks like the weather will be lovely and not too humid in Sevilla. You can change the city and look at the history tab for more info and other cities.

Jennie,

We visited all the cities on your list last October & although it was quite warm in Córdoba, Granada & Sevilla, I don't recall it being humid. I wore skirts every day since it was hot (mid 80s to high 90s) Madrid (we actually stayed in Toledo) was much cooler than Andalucía & we experienced some rainy days there.
If you're staying in a hotel with a pool, make sure you bring a swimming suit ;-)

Have a wonderful trip!

Yes, all these services claiming to be "global" and covering everywhere are indeed interesting... but what about going to the horse's mouth? :))))

http://www.aemet.es/es/eltiempo/prediccion/municipios/sevilla-id41091#detallada

If the page doesn't show all of the detail, make sure to click on the blue bar in the middle saying "Ver tabla detallada".

For the other cities, the fastest way to search is introducing their names in the box towards the end of the page, where it says: "Buscar municipio por nombre"

AND....

this is not the case for jennie, but for others travelling to Barcelona or any other city in the Catalonia region, you might want to check this one instead: http://www.meteo.cat/prediccio/municipal -the Weather Service of Catalonia, which is the most detailed (and accurate) there is for this area.
