In Texas, “summer” can arrive as early as late April and last well into September. For tourists, transplants, and natives alike, finding a strategy for making the most of a Texas summer while staying safe and cool is key. For relaxed, family-friendly fun, consider visiting one of the unique communities in the Houston, Texas metro area, like Tomball. Here’s how you can beat the heat in Tomball, Texas this summer.
Plan To Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Stay Indoors in the Afternoon and Early Evening

- Check out an indoor museum
