What San Diego's weather means for creators
Any month works for an outdoor shoot in San Diego, where the average high runs from 67°F at its lowest (January) to 82°F at its peak (August). Since local weather barely shifts, set drop dates by your audience's calendar: tee weather here runs April to November, but fans in colder states start buying hoodies in early fall. Because the weather rarely forces a change of plan, outdoor content here can follow the drop calendar: shoot a few weeks before launch and post as pre-orders open. Rain is scarce, about 11 inches a year, so outdoor shoots are seldom rained out and can be scheduled well before the drop date.

Ordering from San Diego
When should a creator based in San Diego release a hoodie drop?
No month in San Diego 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.
