What Arlington's weather means for coffee shops
Arlington is hot but far from dry, with about 36 inches of rain a year and 106 days at 90°F or more, so staff tees should breathe: a lightweight tri-blend or cotton-poly in a dark color beats heavy cotton. Fleece gets a real window here: highs average below 65°F from December to February, long enough to stock a retail hoodie and a cuffed beanie at the register, ideally in time for holiday gift bags of beans. January nights drop to an average low of 37°F, so a staff crewneck earns its place for the first hour of the morning shift, and the same piece works as retail once the weather cools. In Arlington, 22 days a year reach 100°F, so staff working beside a hot espresso machine need the lightest breathable shirts the uniform allows, plus caps for any outdoor window. With 36 nights a year at or below freezing, hot drinks lead the morning menu in winter, and a retail hoodie paired with a bag of beans makes an easy gift.
