Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 34° by 6 AM, under a mostly clear sky. Frost can form on the ground in sheltered spots. No rain is expected for the rest of the day. Air quality is moderate (index 94): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.

The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 35% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. Look for Saturn, bright in the south-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 13 minutes long, 3 minutes shorter than yesterday.
