Weather forecast for today
Today, on Wednesday, October 14, gray skies in the morning will gradually clear, leading to a warmer, sunnier afternoon. The likelihood of rainfall is low, and light precipitation is expected. Temperatures are predicted to range from a maximum of a tropical 89.6°F to a minimum of an agreeable 69.8°F. The maximum heat index, which combines air temperature and relative humidity, is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F. Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit degrees. The day's peak of 89.6°F reflects September's seasonal pattern more than October's. Sunrise will be at 7:42 am and sunset at 7:07 pm; the daylight will last for 11h and 25min.
