Now. Moonstone Beach is 82° and clear at 11 PM. The dew point is 43°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Gentle breeze from the northeast at 9 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 79° by 6 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 96°, and the coolest Tuesday, near 67°. Rain is likely Tuesday (52%) and Wednesday (62%). Tomorrow is hot, 96°: heat is a danger to anyone outdoors for long.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 27% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. Look for Saturn, bright in the south. 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 23 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
