Hurricane risk continues early in October but tapers as the month goes on. Afternoon storms are less frequent than summer, though still possible. Mornings and evenings turn pleasantly cooler, so pack a light layer.
Note: October is a good all-round month — far more comfortable than summer, with festive seasonal entertainment and crowds that stay manageable outside the special event nights.
