What October feels like
A wet month, and the tropics stay worth watching to the end of it, but the first real cool fronts start punching through and the difference is immediate. Halloween is often the first evening of the year you actually want long sleeves.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans. about 5 afternoons top 90°.
