What Jacksonville's weather means for skate and surf shops
Heat and frequent rain, about 48 inches a year, mean sweaty and sometimes wet sessions, so a quick-dry tee or tank and a trucker cap make more sense for summer than heavyweight cotton. January is as cool as it gets, with an average high of 66°F, so a hoodie sells for night sessions and as a souvenir rather than as core stock. Tee weather, a 70°F average high or warmer, runs March to November, long enough to support two tee drops a year, one in spring and one after the worst of the summer heat. Expect a soggy June, about 7.3 inches of rain, which keeps riders off wet concrete, so make that month's release an in-store collab drop rather than an outdoor contest.
