Philadelphia’s October climate normals list a normal high of 67.2 degrees and a normal low of 49.2 degrees. These climate normals are long-term averages, not predictions for individual days. Philadelphia’s October climate normals provide the comparison.
Friday is forecast to reach 76 degrees under sunny skies, making it feel more like early fall than the final days of October. Dry conditions are expected to dominate through much of the week, with only light winds in the forecast.
The forecast pattern is tied to high pressure followed by a weak, dry cold front passing through the region Monday night, then Canadian high pressure building into the Northeast Tuesday. That shift is expected to make Tuesday a few degrees cooler before temperatures rebound later in the week. The National Weather Service says there are no significant weather concerns this week, with the next precipitation chance not expected until at least next Sunday or possibly later. The Mount Holly forecast discussion outlines the pattern.
