It Doesn't Feel Like October

I cannot believe it is October. It's 77° outside and I think I would feel more comfortable wearing shorts than pants. There is not a cloud in the sky and the leaves haven't really begun to turn yet. According to Accuweather the average high for today is 71°. It has been unseasonably warm of late, though I heard one of the local meteorologists over the weekend predict that by next week we'll be in closer and even lower than the normal temperatures. I wonder if this will count as our 'Indian Summer' even though we have yet to experience cold temperatures for the season.
