That trough of low pressure has a low/20% chance of formation through 5
days. It is producing a large area of disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Any development is expected to be slow over the next
several days as it passes near western or central Cuba, the Florida
Straits and the Bahamas, where locally heavy rainfall is possible
through the weekend.
It says: Remember to wear face masks in public spaces. The caption says: To reduce covid-19 spread it is important to wear face masks whenever you leave home.

Turtles continue nesting in October.
They
nest along the eastern beaches. Tortugranja staff and
volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in the sand in a pen
outside the facility. Three species nest annually in Isla Mujeres,
Greens, Loggerheads,
and Hawksbills. The season officially ends on the 15th, but monitoring
continues thru the end of the month. Photos of nest hatching out at
MaraVilla Caribe Bed & Beach, that was missed by the Tortugranja
patrols. 
Oct. 6-10, -Draconid meteors, peaking on evening of Oct. 7, but should be worth watching on the night before and after, also This is an evening meteor shower, that you don't have to stay up late to watch...look before the waning moon rises in mid-to-late evening. It is usually a slow shower with a meteor every 10-15 minutes. But it is known for having 'bursts" of hundreds or thousands of meteors in occasional years, which aren't predicted with any certainty. "Meteor showers are like fishing. You go, and sometimes you catch something."
Oct
20-21-22-Orionid meteors peak in the early morning hours. There's more
activity after midnight and the maximum amount in the pre-dawn hours of
Oct. 20th & 21st . These are "shooting stars" from Halley's Comet
& occur from early October to early November as the earth passes
thru its debris.
