Happy October! Here on the Space Coast, October is one of our favorite months. In October, our average high temperatures gradually drop from the mid-80s into the upper-70s, and our humidity drops bringing mostly clear, dry skies. October is the perfect month to visit the beaches: the weather is mild and sunny, and the beaches are less crowded than prime vacation season.
There are many great community events that happen during October as well, from pumpkin patches and craft shows to special fall-themed events. Boo at the Zoo is a popular family activity on weekends leading up to Halloween; Rockledge Gardens’ Fall Festival and ongoing farmer’s market is a great opportunity to pick up fresh fall produce; and Cocoa Village’s Fall Art and Craft Fair is a community favorite.
This year, October will also see several rocket launches. ULA and SpaceX will kick the month off with two launches during the first week, and a third scheduled for later this month. Be sure to check our blog for more information and launch times. Other celestial events in October include a full moon on October 5, the Draconid Meteor Shower from October 6-10, and the beginning of the Orionid Meteor Shower that lasts from October 2 through November 7.
