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 5 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.

Rip current risk today: low
The flag in the picture is the colour of the forecast's risk (green low, yellow moderate, red high), not a flag raised on the beach.
A rip current is a narrow stream of water running out from the shore through the surf, often where fewer waves break. Caught in one, swim across it, along the shore, then back in.
