Capital Region Halloween Forecast, October 31st Conditions

Weather for Halloween in the Capital Region can really go a number of different directions. Last year was cold, rainy, and windy. Which makes for a rough time to be out searching for candy. The year before that was oddly warm, which can make for some sweaty situations depending on your costumes. Being from the Capital Region myself I can remember a number of times that it snowed for Halloween, and unfortunately having to cover up my amazing costume with a winter coat. Spoiler, that costume was probably a ninja turtle.

Halloween weather prediction

As of right now things looks pretty good for October 31st. A little cool with a high of 50 degrees, but also sunny. That's according to the current 10 day forecast from Accuweather. Hopefully we get a little warmer than that so that we can all go out and really enjoy ourselves. We likely won't get the full picture until a little closer to the holiday.

When it comes to predicting the weather, there truly is no greater source than the Old Farmer's Almanac. While they haven't broken down Halloween to the day, their overall prediction for fall in Upstate New York is cool and wet.

Expect cooler and wetter conditions than usual this fall. Below average temperatures are forecast, along with an uptick in precipitation over traditional averages.

So far this year we've been very up and down for the weather this fall. We've even seen the first snowflakes already fly in some spots, and frost has already hit us. Here's hoping the cool holds of for the spooky day.
