What is the weather normally like in San Antonio, TX in late October?

I will be traveling there the last week of October, with my grandson, to see my daughter graduate from her Combat Medic Training at Fort Sam Houston and I have no clue how to pack. In Baltimore it is still comfortably warm during the mid to late afternoon but mornings and evenings are getting quite cool.

In San Antonio, October is one of our most lovely times of the year. As this year has been excessively wet, with frequent to almost daily rain, that part would be hard to predict. Normally, however, the late october days see highs in the 70s to low 80s and lows in the mid 50s. We usually get by with our casual clothes and a light to midweight jacket or coat.



www.weather.com can give you a better idea closer to the time of travel, but on average we are about 10 degrees on average warmer than downtown Baltimore at that time of year.



By the way I love Baltimore, just visted there this summer and had a great time, and have been many times in the past, I also go to Ocean City about one week every year or 2.



By the way, I used to be assigned as instructor at the Academy of Health Sciences the medical training site at Fort Sam Houston. Congratulations on your daughter's graduation.

San Antonio will be balmy. Take a sweater or light jacket for the late evenings
This is according to the farmer's almanac which this year has been pretty accurate.



Oct. 24th-27th Fair skies rapidly change to unsettled conditions. Light rains for Texas east 28th-31st Tranquil, then increasing cloudiness, with very unsettled conditions spreading in from New Mexico.



So, dress lightly and pack a sweater and an umbrella, but just in case, watch the weather channel and be ready for a change. We usually get our first Northern (Texas term for cold front) right around the mid to end of the month. For us, that means a drop in temperature to about 70 degrees during the day and 50's at night. Brrrr. lol.
Deer season will start a few days after this so I can tell you from many years of hunting. It is usual that the days time is 70s-80s and night time 50s-60s, however this is a very unusual year and I wouldn't be surprised to see the day time in the 60s and night time down into the mid to upper 40s. I will give you the advice to carry a light jacket/sweater and one of those small fold up umbrellas with you. Don't think just because it is 75 degrees outside that it is going to stay that temp. I have seen it drop 40 degrees in 40 minutes here
I agree, this year has been very unusual, with relatively cool temperatures this summer and lots of rain. However, late October can range anywhere from hot and humid to cold, wet and windy. In 2004, I was overdue with my oldest son, and it was HOT, humid and miserable outside, while 2005's Halloween was relatively cool, requiring a light jacket. My recommendation would be to pack what you would normally wear in Baltimore at that time. Layering clothing is always the best option.
It's a lot warmer than Baltimore. I've lived in Buffalo for 3 years and am now living in San Antonio. My coats are collecting dust. Pack short sleeved shirts and MAYBE a light weight long sleeved shirt. Nothing heavy.
I live in Austin, about 80 miles to the north of S.A. The one thing that you can count on is that whatever the weather is today, tomorrow it PROBABLY will be different. Otherwise, October it starts to get chilly at night 60's. I wear shorts all the way into December. Shorts, pants, long sleeve shirts and a light jacket or sweater for the evening.
