What Los Angeles's weather means for coffee shops
Roughly 26 days a year reach 90°F, and August averages a high of 84°F, so a summer tee release has a real season while hot drinks never leave the menu. Mornings rarely turn cold, with December lows averaging 48°F, so a long-sleeve tee covers the opening shift and fleece works best as a retail gift item. Tee weather lasts 9 months, March to November, with highs of 70°F or more, so plan two or three tee and cap releases a year instead of one summer drop. Only about 14 inches of rain fall in a year, so rain seldom closes an outdoor market stall, and staff caps that shade the eyes get more use than rain gear.
