What Mesa's weather means for skate and surf shops
July averages a high of 106°F in Mesa, so summer sessions move to dawn and after dark, and the summer rack should be light tees, tanks and mesh-back caps. December afternoons still average a high of 66°F, but December nights average a low of 40°F, so a lightweight hoodie sells for night sessions. Summer heat and cold winter mornings sit far apart, so a long-sleeve tee or a light crewneck bridges spring and fall and keeps the rack from swinging between extremes. About 112 days a year reach 100°F, three months' worth or more, so summer is the slow season for outdoor riding and a good window for a collab or cap release that sells in the shop. With roughly 11 inches of rain a year, outdoor contests and release parties rarely need a rain date, so they can be planned around the calendar, not the forecast.
