Weather in October

October, like September, is a hot autumn month in Elsa, Texas, with an average temperature varying between 86.9°F (30.5°C) and 70.7°F (21.5°C).

Temperature

The average high-temperature shows a slight dip in October, from September's 92.5°F (33.6°C) to a still tropical 86.9°F (30.5°C). Throughout October, the temperature tends to fall to a consistent average low of 70.7°F (21.5°C).

Heat index

October's heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
