The weather, currently.
Go full summer mode if you want
Tuesday and Wednesday will likely be the last 80°F days of the season. Those favorite shorts? Wear ‘em one more time. Go full summer mode if you want and cherish these last warm days. Tuesday will be sunny with light winds out of the west. You’ll feel a bit of the humidity but it won’t be bad. Aside from a slight smoky haze, the day will be a beautiful one. Hope you enjoy every minute of your day!

What you need to know, currently.
The first day of October was the hottest October day in recorded history for several places around the world, including the entire nation of Spain, Sydney, Australia, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In Cordoba, Spain, the temperature reached a new October national record of 38.2°C (100.8°F) on Sunday amid a late-season heat wave that’s only just the latest to strike southern Europe this year. This summer was the hottest ever measured in southern Spain.
In Sydney, Australia, the growing El Niño is beginning to take its toll with hot and dry weather escalating and bushfires taking off.
And here in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the temperature soared to 92°F, setting a new monthly record and forcing city officials to cancel the annual marathon.
With global oceans record-warm, it’s likely that we’ll have a stretch of several more months of record-breaking air temperatures, too.
