Coming up. Tomorrow is 27 degrees cooler: a high of 59° after 86° today.

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 16 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
