What Memphis's weather means for nonprofits
Summers get hot, with about 72 days a year at 90°F or more, so give participants in a summer walk or run moisture-wicking shirts and start those events early; April to October is short-sleeve season. 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. Memphis 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 45 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. Rain peaks in April at about 5.9 inches, so schedule outdoor fundraisers for a drier month or line up a rain date, and keep the boxes of event shirts under cover at check-in.
