What October feels like
Highs settle around 83°F (29°C), warm enough for short sleeves.

Humidity averages 86%, so the air feels sticky and the heat feels stronger than the thermometer says.
It's a very wet month, with around 22.0 in (560 mm) of rain, so keep plans flexible and have indoor backups ready.
