Now. Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility is 77° and mostly clear at 11 PM. The dew point is 71°, so the air feels very oppressive. Light breeze from the east at 5 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 76° by 5 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 89°, and the coolest Sunday, near 80°. Rain or snow is likely tomorrow (88%) and Saturday (70%). Rain is possible Sunday (34%), Monday (41%) and Wednesday (31%). The windiest day is Sunday, with wind to 23 mph.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. Look for Saturn, bright in the south-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 31 minutes long, 1 minute shorter than yesterday.
As of 11:00 PM in Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility, Florida.
