What Charlotte's weather means for creators
Charlotte gives you two shooting seasons: July peaks at an average high of 90°F and January bottoms out at 52°F, so a summer tee drop and a fall fleece drop can each be filmed in real weather. Tee weather covers 7 months, April to October, at an average high of 70°F or more, long enough for a spring tee drop and a late-summer restock. For a fleece drop that matches the local weather, have product in hand before November, when Charlotte's average high slips below 65°F. Around 58 nights a year dip to 32°F or below, so a beanie earns a place in a local bundle next to whatever the drop leads with. Plan indoor shoots around August, the wettest month at about 4.4 inches of rain, and keep outdoor lookbooks for drier weeks.
