What St. Petersburg's weather means for restaurants and bars
St. Petersburg pairs an average high of 90°F in August with a wet year, around 47 inches of rain, so kitchen and patio staff need breathable, quick-drying shirts, in dark colors that hide sweat as well as stains. Patio dining is most comfortable around January, which averages a high of 69°F, and that is a good time to release a retail tee for regulars. With January lows averaging 55°F, a long sleeve covers the coolest closing shifts, and heavy fleece works better as a holiday retail item than as staff gear. August brings about 8.4 inches of rain, so plan patio promotions for a drier month, and give delivery staff a dark, water-resistant layer.
