What St. Petersburg's weather means for coffee shops
Winter in St. Petersburg is short and mild, with January averaging a high of 69°F, so a light crewneck covers the cool weeks while tees and caps carry the rest of the year. Expect about 71 days a year at 90°F or more, enough that a vented cap and a lightweight tee should be the default for anyone working a window or an outdoor stall. January brings the coolest mornings, with lows near 55°F, which is when a crewneck on the retail shelf and a long sleeve for openers make sense. Rain peaks in August at about 8.4 inches, so keep a water-resistant jacket with the shop logo for anyone working outdoors, and give retail tees a spot customers see while they wait.
