Now. South Beach is 79° and clear at 12 AM. The dew point is 66°, so the air feels oppressive. Moderate breeze from the northeast at 14 mph.
Today and tonight. It warms until about 12 PM. Tonight falls to about 78° by 4 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day. The sun is strong around midday: UV index 9, very high. Unprotected skin can burn in under half an hour.
The week. Highs stay close to 84° all week. Rain or snow is likely Saturday (56%), Sunday (66%) and Monday (62%). Rain is possible Tuesday (41%). The windiest day is Sunday, with wind to 26 mph.
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:55 PM. The Moon is a waxing gibbous, 79% lit, and sets at 4:03 AM after midnight. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. After dark, 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 bright Moon hides all but the brightest of them. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 11 hours 28 minutes long, 1 minute shorter than yesterday.
