What Durham's weather means for companies
Staff in Durham dress for two seasons, with July highs averaging 87°F, so a uniform program needs a short-sleeve set as well as an outerwear layer. Short sleeves and polos suit April to October; from November to March, when highs drop below 65°F, jackets, quarter-zips and hoodies take over. Cold mornings arrive in January, when lows average 28°F, so a fleece-lined jacket or insulated vest belongs in the field uniform and a beanie in the onboarding kit. Around 84 nights a year reach freezing, enough that a lined soft shell or fleece jacket makes a practical year-end gift for staff. June alone brings about 5.2 inches of rain, so outdoor company events need a rain plan, and field uniforms should include a water-resistant outer layer in a dark color.
