Now. Lighthouse Beach Park is 79° and partly cloudy at 2 AM. The dew point is 74°, so the air feels very oppressive. Light air from the east-southeast at 4 mph.

The week. Highs stay close to 83° all week. The days ahead look dry. The windiest day is tomorrow, with wind to 26 mph.
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:58 PM. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 42% lit, and sets at 12:20 AM after midnight. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. After dark, look for Saturn, bright in the east-southeast. A planet shines with a steady light where the stars around it twinkle. The Orionids meteor shower is active, peaking around Oct 21: at its peak, up to about 20 meteors an hour can be seen from a dark site. Cloud is forecast to cover most of the night, so the sky will be hard to see. The day is 11 hours 31 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
