What Baltimore's weather means for coffee shops
Coffee weather in Baltimore turns over twice a year, with July averaging a high of 90°F, so the counter needs an iced-season lineup for summer and a hot-drink lineup once highs fall. The year divides between May to September, with highs of 70°F or more, and November to March, with highs under 65°F, so plan a tee release and a fleece release as two separate orders. Winter mornings are properly cold, with lows near 30°F in January, so a warm staff hoodie and a beanie are part of the winter uniform rather than optional extras. Snow totals around 19 inches a year, so anyone working a drive-through window or an outdoor market stall needs a warm, branded outer layer. 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.
