Now. Hunting Island Beach is 74° and clear at 10 PM. The dew point is 70°, so the air feels very oppressive. Light breeze from the south at 4 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 70° by 8 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 84°, and the coolest Sunday, near 64°. The days ahead look dry.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 25% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. Look for Saturn, bright in the 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 25 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
