Why the outdoor season doesn’t end with summer
When we think of outdoor living, it’s often tied to summer - pool days, patio dinners, evening gatherings. But as soon as the temperature dips, many people pack up their spaces and miss out on some of the most peaceful moments of the year. Spending time outdoors has been shown to support both mental well-being and physical health, making it a vital part of a balanced lifestyle.
The truth is, outdoor comfort doesn’t have to be seasonal. Innovations like cordless heated outdoor furniture and design-forward patio layouts make it easier than ever to enjoy your space longer. And it’s not just about aesthetics. By using heat intentionally and understanding your local climate, you can create a year-round outdoor space that truly works.

Understanding climate zones in the US
To extend your outdoor season successfully, it helps to understand your local climate zone. The U.S. is divided into multiple climate regions based on temperature and precipitation patterns.
Here’s a simplified breakdown:
-
Cold Climates: Upper Midwest, Northeast, Rockies
-
Temperate Climates: Mid-Atlantic, Pacific Northwest, Midwest
-
Mild/Warm Climates: South, Southeast, Coastal California, Southwest
Your heating needs (and patio habits) will vary widely depending on where you live. Check the CEC Climate Zones Map to see where your home falls.

Regional seasonal usage tips
Cooler, Northern Climates
In regions with long winters and early frosts, plan for heavier heat use in fall and spring. Layer with cushions and throws, use wind-blocking layouts on the patio, and opt for Level 2–3 heat during colder months to stay comfortable outside.
Rain-Prone Areas
If you live in a climate with consistent rain or humidity, materials like teak and Sunbrella® matter. Keep furniture covers or dry storage nearby. Use Level 1–2 heating to take advantage of breaks in weather from fall through spring.
Warmer, Southern Climates
In milder climates with brief winters, your outdoor season is naturally longer. Light, breathable fabrics and Level 1 heating are perfect for cool fronts between late fall and early spring. Heated furniture lets you continue enjoying evenings outdoors without heavy layers.
High-Desert or Elevated Regions
Temperature swings - especially from day to night - mean flexibility is key. Start your morning or evening at Level 3 or 4, then scale back to Level 1 or 2 as the sun rises and temperatures climb. Using battery-powered heated patio furniture that can adjust quickly with changing conditions is a game changer.
Coastal Zones
If you’re near the water, coastal breezes can keep temperatures cooler year-round. Light layering paired with Level 1 or Level 2 heating in the mornings or evenings helps maintain comfort - without sacrificing that fresh, open-air feel.
Weather data sources
Planning your patio for the seasons starts with understanding trends. Pull regional weather data from trusted sites like the EPA Climate Change Indicators to forecast heating needs.
Own your outdoor season
Extending your outdoor season isn’t about fighting the weather - it’s about designing around it. With cordless heated outdoor furniture, breathable fabrics, and a little seasonal planning, your backyard becomes a retreat you can enjoy through crisp fall nights and chilly spring mornings.
Whether you’re planning a firepit dinner in February or a morning coffee in November, Outmore helps you be out more with confidence.
