Weather in Sardinia in October
October in Sardinia is mild enough that walking is the default. This is a city-break month more than a sea-holiday month.
In Italy, this is how Sardinia actually wears October, not how a country centroid would. Compared with August and January, October sits in the middle of Sardinia's year.

What to expect
Daytime
Mild afternoons in Sardinia are the prize in October. You can eat outside on the good days. You still want something for the breeze.
This is walking weather. Shade is useful, not essential the way it is in the hot months. A long outdoor day is a reasonable plan.
Rain
October is a wetter month in Sardinia. Showers are part of the deal, not a spoiled surprise.
Waterproof shoes matter more than a rain plan for a beach, especially if a beach is not why you came. Build indoor hours into the afternoon.
Evening
Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
What to pack
