What to Expect on Halloween
Halloween on October 31st brings fall temperatures to most of the US. Northern states can be quite cold, with frost and even early snow possible. Southern states remain mild, often in the 60s-70s. The variability makes costume planning a weather-dependent decision for trick-or-treaters.
October 31st has seen snow in cities as far south as Nashville and Charlotte in some years, while Miami has occasionally been in the 80s on the same day.
Planning Tips for Halloween
- •Northern trick-or-treaters should plan costumes that accommodate winter coats underneath
