Weather in October
Temperature
The onset of October brings a small shift in high-temperatures, falling from a tropical 87.6°F (30.9°C) in September to a moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C). South Houston witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 65.3°F (18.5°C) throughout October.Heat index
In October, the average heat index is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). If one endures exposure and continues to be active, it might result in tiredness and heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
