Eid will be when it will be... just like Ramadan started almost 4 weeks ago. Ramadan started at 3 different dates across the islamic world.
The islamic high council of every individual country will gather and base their decision on the ACTUAL sighting of the moon by themselves or by credible eye witnesses.
It should be around 24Oct +/- 1 day and again you may have the more western islamic countries declaring earlier than others further East. This will be only known very late in the evening (close to around 11pm) or first thing in the early monring news. Stay tuned to your local radio station. Stay
