Akron is finishing Monday, October 26, with clear skies and temperatures around 70 degrees, but the quiet evening will turn cloudier overnight. The bigger story is a warm late-October stretch ahead, with several afternoons in the low to mid-70s before showers finally become more likely Sunday.
Fog Arrives Before Tuesday Sunshine
Tonight will be partly cloudy, with temperatures falling to around 45 degrees. Tuesday should be mostly sunny, with no fog called for, a high near 68 degrees and calm wind, the National Weather Service’s Akron forecast says.
Warm Stretch Builds Through Halloween
The mild pattern returns quickly Wednesday, when partly sunny skies and a high near 71 are expected. Thursday looks like the warmest day of the workweek, with sunshine and a high near 74, followed by a partly sunny Friday near 72. Rain chances remain minimal through Friday, so most outdoor plans should get a cooperative weather window, under the updated Akron forecast.
Halloween Looks Mild Before The Weekend Turns Wetter
Halloween falls on Saturday, October 31, the NWS forecast shows.
Akron-Canton’s long-run Halloween climate data put this year’s forecast in perspective: the station’s average Oct. 31 high is 58 degrees, while the record is 79 degrees, set in 1950. A forecast high near 70 would be about 12 degrees above that average, but still below the record. The average and record offer local benchmarks for the mild Halloween outlook. The National Weather Service’s Akron-Canton Halloween climatology also tracks precipitation and snowfall.
Sunday Brings The Week’s Best Rain Chance
Sunday, November 1, carries a 50% chance of showers, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 69, according to the updated Akron forecast. That is a wetter finish than the earlier Cleveland outlook summarized by Hoodline, which had described a mostly dry week.
Recent Halloween readings show how much conditions can vary from year to year at Akron-Canton Regional Airport: the high reached 74 degrees in 2024, then just 52 degrees in 2025. The long-term Halloween average precipitation is 0.10 inch, a reminder that a mild forecast does not guarantee a dry evening. The NWS historical record for the airport includes these recent highs and precipitation totals.
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Akron area. For now, jackets will matter more after sunset than umbrellas, though Sunday is the day to keep rain gear nearby.
