Temperatures in October gradually decline, with highs dropping from the mid-70s°F (low-to-mid 20s°C) at the start of the month to the mid-50s°F (around 12-13°C) by the end. Nighttime lows can range from the upper 50s°F (mid-teens°C) early in the month to near-freezing temperatures by Halloween. This wide range means layering is key, as days can feel warm while evenings turn chilly. Wind chill becomes more noticeable as the month progresses, especially during cold fronts.
