Texas Summer conditions: Highs in the 90's-100F+, lows above 70F. Primarily no precipitation except for brief downpours. Wind, if any, is hot. Humidity may vary, depending on location.
Preferred geography: close to large bodies of water for afternoon swimming to cool off. This also minimizes water carries, but plan for ability to carry 4L+ to keep hydrated.
