What October feels like
October adds Fleet Week to the good weather, and the Blue Angels rattle windows the length of the northern waterfront. Rain generally holds off until the last week or so; until then the city is at its most agreeable.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 64° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
