What Philadelphia's weather means for schools and clubs
Fall sports open in summer warmth and close in cooler air: July averages a high of 89°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. Average highs fall below 45°F in January, so winter basketball crowds want beanies and heavier fleece. Short sleeves cover May to September, so the start of school and graduation both fall in tee weather, while early spring sports still need long sleeves or a warmup layer. Expect about 23 inches of snow a year, so a water-resistant jacket or a softshell for coaches and staff is worth a line on the winter order, beside the hoodies. On about 62 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.
