Jacksonville Halloween Afternoon Weather: 77 Degrees and Dry for a 6:39 Sunset, Then Sunday Clouds Build
Jacksonville sat at 77 degrees and partly cloudy on Halloween afternoon, with the trick-or-treat hours staying dry before rain chances climb Sunday and peak Monday.
Halloween afternoon in Jacksonville is warm and dry. The station's live weather feed (Open-Meteo, read this run) put the temperature at 77 degrees, feeling like 82, under partly cloudy skies, on the way to a Saturday high of 79.1 and a low of 70.6, with only a 14 percent precipitation chance — no washout in the feed for the evening's trick-or-treat hours.
Sunset in Jacksonville comes at 6:39 p.m. ET on Halloween, according to the times published for Florida cities, so the last of the daylight goes early and much of the evening runs in darkness — a flashlight belongs in the trick-or-treat kit. There is no full moon to help: the moon is in its waning gibbous phase, the hunter's moon having peaked on October 26, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac as cited in the same report. Tonight is also the last night of daylight saving time; clocks fall back at 2 a.m., as this station reported this morning.
The pattern turns after the holiday. Sunday, the first day on standard time, runs cloudy with a high of 79 and the feed's precipitation chance up to 30 percent. Monday carries the week's highest rain chance at 53 percent with showers and a high of 81, and Tuesday — Election Day — carries a thunderstorm code in the feed with a high of 77.2 and a 20 percent precipitation chance. The Weather Desk's 17:00 file will refresh the week ahead.
