What Washington's weather means for sports teams
Washington sees about 40 days a year at 90°F or more, so a breathable practice tee per player covers the warm months, with a spare for tournament weekends in the heat. January highs average 45°F, so a team hoodie sees regular use in winter, and for the rest of the year a practice tee and a cap carry most sessions. Average highs reach 70°F only from May to September, so long sleeves cover more of the calendar than short sleeves, and the short-sleeve order can be smaller. With about 14 inches of snow in a typical year, cold game days bracket both seasons, so a beanie and a warm layer go on the fall and the spring order. Expect about 60 nights a year at 32°F or below, enough that the earliest games in the coldest weeks start near freezing; team joggers over game shorts keep players warm until kickoff.
