What Atlanta's weather means for coffee shops
Expect roughly 54 days a year at 90°F or hotter, enough to justify a summer release of light tees and caps before the counter switches to warmer layers for winter. Hoodie weather starts in November, when highs fall below 65°F, and runs 4 months, so place the fleece and beanie order early enough to have it on the shelf by then. Winter bottoms out at average highs of 54°F and average lows of 34°F, mild enough that a midweight hoodie is the heaviest piece the shelf needs. Freezing temperatures arrive on about 52 nights a year, so a light staff jacket helps on winter mornings, and a beanie is worth trying as a holiday add-on. Wet weeks are part of the routine, with July the wettest month at about 5 inches, so a water-resistant jacket or hooded layer with the logo keeps market and delivery staff looking like the shop on rainy days.
