Weather: Denver-Stapleton station, 9 mi from Aurora's center (NOAA 1991-2020 Climate Normals). People: Census ACS 2020-2024. Counts: CBP 2023, by county, paid-employee establishments. Population: Census, July 2025.
What Aurora's weather means for clothing brands
With July averaging a high of 90°F and about 42 days a year at 90°F or more, a midweight tee covers most of the summer, and one lighter style handles the hottest weeks. Highs stay under 65°F for 6 months (November to April), so fleece is half the line or more, and it pays to offer two weights: a midweight hoodie for fall and spring and a heavyweight for the coldest stretch. Rain is light enough that outdoor shoots rarely need a rain date, so the bigger question is light: shoot early or late in the day for softer shadows on the product. Snowfall of roughly 49 inches a year gives a winter drop its own backdrop for product shots and keeps beanies selling well past the holidays. Around 156 nights a year fall to 32°F or below, so a lined or quilted coaches jacket can join the hoodie in the winter drop.
Aurora's weather figures come from the same NOAA stations as Denver's (Denver-Stapleton), so the month-by-month table is on the Denver page.

When should a clothing brand in Aurora drop fleece?
In two waves: a midweight hoodie before November, then a heavier piece or a new colorway in midwinter, so the line has something new for the long cool stretch.
