Living with the Texas Climate

Adventure Trail Colony offers a lifestyle shaped by the rhythm of Texas weather. Knowing what to expect through the seasons helps you plan projects, downtime, and daily routines.

I’ve become a kind of reverse snowbird—spending most of the year at ATC, but heading to Maine in July for mild summer weather, then returning when the Texas heat begins to ease.

Spring: Mild and Blooming

Spring brings comfortable temperatures perfect for outdoor projects and gardening. Wildflowers dot the roadsides, trees bud, and occasional rain showers keep everything lush and green.

Summer: Hot Days, Perfect Mornings and Evenings

Summer mornings here are beautiful, with comfortable temps lasting until around noon. By midday, the heat can be intense, and you’ll want to avoid direct sun. Evenings cool back down, making them ideal for sitting on the deck, firing up the BBQ, or watching the sunset. The lake is the ultimate way to beat the heat during the day.

Personally, I take advantage of the flexibility ATC offers by heading north to Maine in July for cooler weather while keeping my home base here.

Fall: Crisp Air and Changing Colors

Fall delivers cooler days with lower humidity, perfect for fishing, hiking, or working outdoors. The sunrises and sunsets are particularly stunning this time of year, with vibrant colors painting the sky.

Winter: Mild Compared to Most of the Country

While mornings can occasionally be frosty, most winter days are sunny and cool rather than bitterly cold. You can still enjoy plenty of outdoor activities without the harsh winter conditions found elsewhere.

Weather Patterns to Keep in Mind

• Humidity shifts noticeably between seasons

• Thunderstorms are frequent in spring and summer

• Plan outdoor work for mornings or evenings for comfort

Making the Most of Each Season

• Summer: enjoy the lake, shaded decks, and cooler evening hours

• Fall: take advantage of crisp, dry days for outdoor projects

• Winter: gather around fire pits or focus on indoor projects

• Spring: garden, fish, or explore the outdoors as everything comes alive again

Embracing the Rhythm of ATC Weather

When you learn how to work with the seasons here, each part of the year has its own charm. From spring blooms to crisp fall air, from mild winters to those perfect summer mornings and evenings, Adventure Trail Colony offers a climate that you can truly enjoy year-round.

Especially if, like me, you make the most of your flexibility to escape the hottest stretch and return when the weather is just right.
