What Bakersfield's weather means for schools and clubs
The school year in Bakersfield opens in the heat, with about 112 days a year at 90°F or more, so make the first spirit wear order mostly tees and put the first team order in performance fabric. Average highs sit under 65°F from December to February, enough of a winter that basketball crowds want fleece, so open a hoodie and crewneck window in the fall alongside the football tees. Short sleeves cover March to October, the months at a 70°F average high or warmer, which takes in the first weeks of school and graduation. Some 35 days a year reach 100°F, so caps and visors belong in every team order, and the volunteers who run field days and fun runs will want them too. Only about 6.4 inches of rain fall in a year, so outdoor events almost never need a rain date, and sun is the real issue: caps, visors and light colors for field day.
