Embroidery through Long Beach's year
Average highs reach 70°F or more for 8 months, peaking at 83°F in August, so caps get far more wear than beanies. Winter barely registers, with December averaging a high of 67°F, so fleece stays a small add-on. A dry climate, about 12 inches of rain a year, is kind to structured caps, which keep their shape best when they are not soaked.
