Santa Ana by the numbers

What Santa Ana's weather means for bands
Summer warms up, with about 30 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 13 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.

How should a band split tees and hoodies for shows in Santa Ana?
Tees, tanks and caps should fill most of the van. No month in Santa Ana averages a high under 65°F and summer heat shapes the table more than winter does, so a hoodie is a niche item.
