What Charlotte's weather means for nonprofits
July is the warmest month, and about 49 days a year reach 90°F or more, so a summer race calls for a wicking shirt while a spring or fall walk can use cotton. Average highs stay under 65°F from November to March, so cold-season volunteer days need long sleeves, and a fleece thank-you gets worn right away. Charlotte goes straight from tee weather to layer weather: every month's average high is either 70°F or more or under 65°F, so plan volunteer kits for two seasons, not four. About 58 nights a year fall to 32°F or below, so a volunteer crew that sets up before sunrise in winter should have a beanie and a layer over the event tee. The wettest month, August, brings about 4.4 inches of rain, so keep it off the walk and run calendar where you can.
