Outdoor & climate tips for San Antonio
San Antonio has hot, humid summers, mild winters, and the occasional strong storm. For outdoor or River Walk activations, a canopy provides shade and quick rain cover — weight every leg for gusts on paved surfaces. Dye-sublimated graphics resist the Texas UV, and wrinkle-resistant fabric displays stay crisp in the humidity.
