Delta weather in October

The record

October is when the valley lets go of summer, a few degrees at a time. Normal for October here is a high near 66 and a low near 39, with about 1.2 inches of precipitation. Today's forecast high of 68 sits right on the normal 67.

Orchards and hay ground fill a low valley here, so the growing season is long and the irrigation call runs all summer. Through 19 days of October, the warmest afternoon has been 85° and the coolest morning 36°. The month is averaging 8 degrees warmer than the thirty year normal.

When it rains in Delta

October normally brings 1.2 inches of precipitation. So far this month 7 days have measured precipitation, 1.4 inches in total. In the current forecast the chance peaks around 12 PM at 69 percent. 3 of the next seven days carry a chance of 30 percent or better.
