What Irvine's weather means for creators
Heat still reaches Irvine on about 35 days a year at 90°F or more, with August averaging a high of 87°F, so summer shoots work best in the morning, while the rest of the year suits almost any outdoor look. Tee weather here runs March to December, 10 months at an average high of 70°F or more, so short sleeves suit local content most of the year, while fans in colder states start buying hoodies in early fall. February is the wettest month, at about 3.4 inches of rain, so give shoots that month a backup date; the rest of the year seldom needs one. Rain is scarce, about 14 inches a year, so outdoor shoots are seldom rained out and can be scheduled well before the drop date.

Ordering from Irvine
When should a creator based in Irvine release a hoodie drop?
No month in Irvine averages a high under 65°F, so the weather will never cue a hoodie drop; time it to fans in colder states, who start shopping for fleece in early fall, and ship before the holiday carrier cutoffs.
