What Irving's weather means for skate and surf shops
With about 106 days a year at 90°F or hotter and August averaging a high of 96°F, sessions in Irving 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. On about 20 days a year the temperature reaches 100°F, so a light-colored, breathable tee is the blank that matters most in summer. May brings the most rain, about 4.8 inches, which keeps skaters off wet concrete, so date a contest shirt or a release party for a drier month.
