Things to Do on the OBX for October 17th 2024

Good morning, OBX adventurers! 🌞

Today, October 16, 2024, we’re starting off with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures around 55°F. You can expect a chance of rain before 4 PM, with a high reaching near 60°F. The winds will be from the north at 13 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph, so it might feel a bit brisk. Tonight, rain is likely after midnight, and the temperature will drop to around 50°F. The winds will remain steady at 13 to 15 mph, making it a cozy evening indoors​.

October is a fantastic time to visit the Outer Banks because the weather is cooler and the summer crowds have thinned. You can enjoy peaceful beach days and pleasant hikes, like exploring Run Hill, without the heat or rush. It's also an excellent month for beach lovers to take advantage of wind-friendly gear, so if you're heading out with your umbrella, check out the best umbrella canopies for windy days.

For those bringing their furry companions for the first time, don't forget to read up on bringing your dog to the OBX. And if you're considering a future coastal trip, see how the Outer Banks compares to Myrtle Beach for a different adventure vibe.

Enjoy your day on the Outer Banks, rain or shine! 🌊
