What Oakland's weather means for schools and clubs
Summers are warm rather than hot, with September averaging a high of 74°F, and from November highs average under 65°F, so the fall order can carry tees and hoodies in roughly even numbers. Winters are gentle, with January averaging a high of 58°F, so a midweight hoodie or quarter-zip handles winter games without heavy fleece. Short sleeves cover June to October, so the start of school and graduation both fall in tee weather, while early spring sports still need long sleeves or a warmup layer.
