San Jose kicks off 1st weekend of October amid heat wave
Briefly

Scott Young, the Athletics Director for Santa Teresa High School, emphasized the importance of the new 'Wet Bulb Globe Temperature' tool, saying, "It's a good piece of mind in that we have a number to go off of." This innovative measurement tool helps assess outdoor activity conditions by considering sunlight, wind speed, and temperature, enabling safer practice schedules for athletes.
Allison Rice, a volunteer with the Santa Teresa Athletic Booster Club, noted the community's strong turnout despite the heat, stating, "We're selling a lot of bottled water today - snow cones are super popular." This highlights how outdoor events can still draw participation even under adverse weather conditions.
Jennifer Lindberg expressed her enthusiasm for outdoor events this season despite the heat. She said, "We love Hocus Pocus so any chance to come see it especially for free outside, we're there." This showcases community spirit and resilience in enjoying local activities.
Rosalina Lopez pointed out the unusual weather, remarking, "Right now, it doesn't feel like fall - it feels like summer more because of the hot weather." Her observation underscores the impact of the current heat wave on seasonal norms.
