What Philadelphia's weather means for creators
Philadelphia gives you two shooting seasons: July peaks at an average high of 89°F and January bottoms out at 42°F, so a summer tee drop and a fall fleece drop can each be filmed in real weather. Average highs of 70°F or more are limited to May to September, so a tee drop shot outdoors has to be planned and filmed inside that window. Wet weather comes in every month, about 51 inches of rain and melted snow a year in all, so give each outdoor shoot a backup date and keep finished pieces bagged until they are on camera. About 23 inches of snow a year means snow on the ground comes and goes, so plan a winter fleece shoot with a flexible date and film it right after a fresh fall. Cold nights are routine, about 62 a year at 32°F or below, so a beanie or crewneck in a bundle is something local fans will actually use.
