Screen printing through Long Beach's year
August averages a high of 83°F with about 23 days a year at 90°F or more, warm enough that a midweight tee carries summer and a heavyweight blank suits the cooler months. Add a midweight hoodie to the run for evenings, when lows average 47°F in December. With 8 months of average highs at 70°F or more (April to November), tees are the core of the year's runs, and the hoodie run can be planned for the coolest months. With only about 12 inches of rain a year, outdoor events seldom get rained out, so the print calendar can follow the temperature rather than the rain.

Screen Printing in Long Beach
Should a screen print order in Long Beach go on tees or hoodies?
Tees for most of the year, in more than one weight. A lighter tee suits the hottest weeks in Long Beach and a heavier one the rest, while a hoodie covers winter nights. Adult sizes will lead, as the under-18 share is a little below the US figure, so size the hoodie print to sit between collar and pocket on an adult small, then check it on 2XL.
