What Austin's weather means for nonprofits
August brings an average high of 98°F, hot enough to make a midday outdoor fundraiser hard on everyone, so keep the walk or run out of the summer months and dress volunteers in light, loose shirts. Average highs fall below 65°F only from December to January, close to the year-end giving season, so a light hoodie sent with a donor thank-you gets worn while the weather is still cool. Mornings in January start at an average low of 42°F, cool enough that volunteers setting up before dawn will want a long sleeve they can shed once the afternoon calls for a tee. Plan for about 29 days a year at 100°F or more: summer event shirts should be light in color and weight, and a cap belongs in every volunteer kit. The wettest month, May, brings about 5 inches of rain, so keep it off the walk and run calendar where you can.

Ordering from Austin
Which participant shirt suits a charity walk or run in Austin?
Short sleeves for most race dates, since 9 months average a high of 70°F or more (March to November). Highs drop under 65°F from December to January, so a winter race calls for a long-sleeve shirt, and a summer race needs moisture-wicking fabric.
