Weather: Durham station, 6 mi from Durham's center (NOAA 1991-2020 Climate Normals). People: Census ACS 2020-2024. Counts: CBP 2023, by county, paid-employee establishments. Population: Census, July 2025.
What Durham's weather means for schools and clubs
Fall sports open in summer warmth and close in cooler air: July averages a high of 87°F, and from November the average high is under 65°F, so a season can need practice tees at the start and hoodies by the end. January lows average 28°F, so families in the stands at winter games want beanies and heavyweight hoodies more than light layers. Spring sports open in cool air, since highs stay under a 65°F average through March, so softball, baseball and track orders should include a long sleeve or a warmup jacket. On about 84 nights a year the temperature drops to 32°F or lower, so a quarter-zip or fleece jacket for coaches, who stand on the sideline the whole game, belongs in the late-fall order. Rain peaks in June at about 5.2 inches, so any team that plays outdoors that month needs a layer that sheds water, and spirit wear sales can move under cover.
