What Irvine's weather means for bands
Summer warms up, with about 35 days a year at 90°F or more, so outdoor dates call for light tees and caps, and dark heavyweights belong at night shows. Winter afternoons remain warm enough here that tanks and caps can stay on the table through the cooler months. About 14 inches of rain a year means outdoor dates rarely get rained out, so a festival or patio show can carry the same table as a club date.
