What Garland's weather means for restaurants and bars
Roughly 93 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. Patio evenings turn cool from December to February, with January averaging a high of just 56°F, so stock staff hoodies for the patio and put the same pullover on the retail shelf for the holidays. January lows average 36°F, so the crew leaving a late close needs more than a kitchen tee; order the winter staff layer in the same color as the summer shirt so the team still looks uniform. Closing staff step out into freezing air on roughly 35 nights each year, so a beanie and a hoodie belong in the staff kit. October is the rainy peak, around 5.3 inches, so give patio and delivery staff a dark layer that hides splashes and dries fast.
Garland's weather figures come from the same NOAA stations as Plano's (Richardson), so the month-by-month table is on the Plano page.

Ordering from Garland
When do patio staff in Garland need a warmer layer?
Not until December: highs average under 65°F only from then through February, so a light hoodie covers that stretch, and with summer heat lasting far longer, most of the staff budget belongs to breathable tees.
