Killeen runs a humid subtropical climate with well over a hundred days a year above 90 degrees and about 34.75 inches of rain. July and August afternoons are the constraint, so walkers work early mornings and evenings and keep midday to short shaded loops. Winters are mild enough that walking continues year round, with occasional hard freezes.
Fort Cavazos sets the calendar. Deployments, field rotations and permanent-change-of-station cycles move families in and out constantly, which produces steady demand for long-stay boarding and house sitting rather than a single holiday spike. PCS season in early summer is the heaviest stretch. Central Texas College and Texas A&M Central Texas terms add student-driven turnover on top.
