What Philadelphia's weather means for nonprofits
Average highs reach 70°F only from May to September here, so long sleeves suit more of the event calendar than tees do, and a summer race is the main exception. The coldest stretch, January, has average highs under 45°F, so winter volunteers need real fleece, and a beanie or heavy hoodie is a thank-you that gets used. Spring and fall give Philadelphia its easiest outdoor event dates, between the summer peak in July and the chill of January, so plan the main walk or run for one of them. About 23 inches of snow fall in a typical year, enough that a winter date can be snowed out, so give any outdoor holiday drive a backup date and keep spare volunteer hoodies at check-in. About 62 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.
