Weather: Tustin Irvine Ranch station, 2 mi from Irvine's center (NOAA 1991-2020 Climate Normals). People: Census ACS 2020-2024. Counts: CBP 2023, by county, paid-employee establishments. Population: Census, July 2025.
What Irvine's weather means for breweries
August is the warm month in Irvine, averaging a high of 87°F, with about 35 days a year at 90°F or more, so give mesh-back caps and lighter tees extra depth in late summer. December nights fall to an average low of 43°F, cool enough that a light hoodie or crewneck finds buyers in the evening even when afternoons feel like spring. Highs reach 70°F or more in most months, so a summer tee can stay on the shelf for a long run, and a second design in late summer keeps it from going stale. Light rainfall, about 14 inches a year, lets a patio merch display stay out on most open days; keep stock out of direct sun so dark colors do not fade.
