Airports/California/Monterey Regional Airport
Now. Monterey Regional Airport is 66° and clear at 8 PM. The dew point is 40°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Light air from the south-southeast at 2 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 59° by 7 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day. Air quality is moderate (index 57): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 82°, and the coolest Monday, near 63°. Rain is likely Tuesday (54%). Rain is possible Monday (32%) and Wednesday (33%).
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% lit, and sets at 9:46 PM. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. 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. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 11 hours 17 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
