What Glendale's weather means for restaurants and bars
With about 176 days a year at 90°F or more, kitchens in Glendale fight heat for much of the year, so cooks need the lightest durable blend available and a spare shirt for double shifts. Patio staff want a layer in December, the cool stretch below a 65°F average high, and the same pullover sells at the register as a retail hoodie. Winter nights drop to an average low of 40°F in December, far from the summer heat, so a bar with a patio needs both a breathable staff tee and a hoodie, in matching colors so the team still looks uniform. About 115 days a year reach 100°F, so summer patio service belongs to the evening, and patio servers need a breathable cap in the uniform color for the hours before sunset. Rain totals just 8.3 inches a year, so patio staff work in sun most of the time; a breathable cap and a light-colored polo fit them better than rain gear.

When do patio staff in Glendale need a warmer layer?
Mainly in December, the short stretch when the average high slips under 65°F; a long sleeve or a light quarter-zip covers it, and a hoodie works as an after-close layer.
