What Fort Worth's weather means for skate and surf shops
Summer runs long in Fort Worth, with about 114 days a year at 90°F or more, so plan the year's biggest tee drop for spring, while riding weather is comfortable. Average highs sit under 65°F from December to February, comfortable riding weather after the summer heat, so time the fleece drop to that window and to the holiday gift rush. Highs reach 70°F or more from March to October, so the tee and cap restock should land just before that stretch begins. On about 27 days a year the temperature reaches 100°F, so a light-colored, breathable tee is the blank that matters most in summer. About 30 nights a year reach 32°F or below, mostly in midwinter, so a beanie and a hoodie cover the coldest early sessions.
