What Nashville's weather means for skate and surf shops
In Nashville, July is the warmest month and about 54 days a year reach 90°F or more, so a tee for the heat and a hoodie for cool mornings both belong on the rack. January, the coolest month, averages a high of 49°F, so fleece and beanies move to the front for winter, and tees stay in stock for warm afternoons. Tee weather, a 70°F average high or warmer, runs April to October, so stock the house tee deep from spring through fall and save the fleece order for the holiday stretch. Lows reach 32°F or colder on about 66 nights a year, so a beanie by the register is an easy add-on sale from late fall on. Rain peaks in May at about 5 inches, so that is the month to sell windbreakers, hoodies and caps rather than to schedule a demo.
