ClimateMount Samson has a sub-tropical climate with very hot humid summers and mild, dry, sunny winters. Most rain falls during the height of summer, between November and February. Whilst summer maximum average temperatures generally linger around 30C, the summer months, like most of South East Queensland have some extremely hot days, sometimes as high as 40C. FacilitiesSamsonvale Hall is located on Winn Road on the opposite side from the primary school. Annual music festival Red Deer Festival is held in Mount Samson. The Moreton Bay Regional Council operates a mobile library service which visits the Mount Samson State School on Winn Road.[3] EducationMount Samson has one local primary school called Mount Samson State School. The primary school is described as a 'school without a town' due to the fact that it serves residents of nearby areas but indeed has no township. Despite this - or perhaps because of it - the school community is very close knit and supportive. Directly in front of Mount Samson State School sits Sparrow Early Learning, a long day care centre catering for children birth to school age, and Songbirds, a small music learning centre.
