What Washington's weather means for schools and clubs
Fall sports open in summer warmth and close in cooler air: July averages a high of 90°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 averages a high of just 45°F, so winter game nights call for heavyweight hoodies and beanies, and a staff order of jackets or quarter-zips gets plenty of use. 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 14 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 60 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.
