What Raleigh's weather means for creators
Raleigh gives you two shooting seasons: July peaks at an average high of 91°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. Wet weather comes in every month, about 49 inches of rain a year in all, so give each outdoor shoot a backup date and keep finished pieces bagged until they are on camera. Around 57 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. September brings the most rain, about 5.7 inches, so line up an indoor location you can switch to on short notice for any shoot planned that month.
