When to take it off in Akron
Prime season in Akron runs Jun–Sep: those months average doors-off weather on at least half their days.
January, February, March, April, October, November and December are the cold side: the average feels-like high sits under 68°F. May hovers just over the 68°F floor (average feels-like high 70°F), so plenty of days still come up short.
Your limits aren't ours. If you run doors-off at 55°F in a hoodie, or bail the second it hits 85, set your own thresholds in the forecast tool and it'll call each day for Akron against them.
