What Corpus Christi's weather means for restaurants and bars
Roughly 96 days a year reach 90°F here, so order the summer batch of staff tees well before the August peak, in a lighter weight than the ones the crew wears in winter. The coolest month, January, still averages a high of 68°F, so the retail shelf should lead with tees and caps and keep hoodies to a small holiday run. Winter nights stay mild, with January lows averaging 52°F, so staff jackets can be skipped and the budget put into a second tee or a retail cap. Rain peaks at about 6.2 inches in September, so stock staff caps and dark hoodies that can take a soaking on the way in and dry before the next shift.
