What October feels like
The State Fair runs through the middle of the month with the Texas-OU game at the Cotton Bowl in the thick of it, so the city is at its best and its busiest. Rain comes back in stretches, and a wet fair weekend is a local rite of complaint.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
