Today is about average for October. The forecast high of 86°F is in line with the 84°F typical for this month.
A 92% chance means rain is expected over most of the area. Plan indoor alternatives. Around 0,6 in is forecast, which is enough to soak trails and slow traffic.
Visibility is down to 2,3 mi - use low beams and leave extra following distance. Wet roads are likely; braking distances roughly double in heavy rain.
Within 15 degrees of the equator, day length barely changes all year; seasons are defined by rain, not temperature.
Northern Hemisphere, so peak summer falls in June to August.
The gap between the warmest and coldest month averages 36°F - an unusually even climate through the year.
What to pack, what to skip
- Lightweight, light-coloured clothing and a refillable water bottle
- Sunglasses, a brimmed hat and SPF 30+
- A packable rain shell - 7 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
- Insect repellent and quick-dry fabrics for humidity
- If your dates are flexible, avoid May, June and July - historically the least comfortable months here.
