What Raleigh's weather means for schools and clubs
Raleigh gets about 47 days a year at 90°F or above, so preseason practice runs hot, then highs average under 65°F from November, which turns the late-season crowd toward fleece. January, the coolest month, averages a high of 52°F, so a midweight hoodie covers most winter game nights, with beanies as an add-on for the coldest ones. 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 57 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 September at about 5.7 inches, so any team that plays outdoors that month needs a layer that sheds water, and spirit wear sales can move under cover.
