What Riverside's weather means for skate and surf shops
With about 101 days a year at 90°F or hotter and August averaging a high of 95°F, sessions in Riverside drift to early morning and after dark, and the rack leans on light tees, tanks and mesh-back caps. December is as cool as it gets, with an average high of 67°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. On about 22 days a year the temperature reaches 100°F, so a light-colored, breathable tee is the blank that matters most in summer. With roughly 9.4 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.
