What Garland's weather means for skate and surf shops
With about 93 days a year at 90°F or hotter and August averaging a high of 95°F, sessions in Garland drift to early morning and after dark, and the rack leans on light tees, tanks and mesh-back caps. 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 April to October, so the tee and cap restock should land just before that stretch begins. About 35 nights a year reach 32°F or below, mostly in midwinter, so a beanie and a hoodie cover the coldest early sessions. Rain peaks in October at about 5.3 inches, so that is the month to sell windbreakers, hoodies and caps rather than to schedule a demo.
Garland's weather figures come from the same NOAA stations as Plano's (Richardson), so the month-by-month table is on the Plano page.

What should a skate or surf shop in Garland keep on the rack in winter?
A winter section: from December on, freezing nights are not rare, so give fleece and a few beanies a dedicated spot through the holidays, then trim back in spring.
