September in Derby: afternoons around 83°F, nights around 58°F. Nothing in the forecast averages argues against a doorstep delivery; any basket in the catalog travels well.
Heat (June, July and August). Afternoons average 85°F or more, peaking near 92°F in July. Send chocolate, cheese and fresh fruit to a workplace or a front desk in these months; baked goods, nuts, coffee, tea and spa baskets can take a doorstep drop.
Freezing nights (January, February and December). The average low reaches 21°F in January. Jams, sauces and fresh fruit should not spend a night outside; offices, senior residences and hospitals all receive indoors.
Snow (January, February and December). About 8 inches a year on average. Allow one extra business day when the date matters: a birthday box that ships two days out still lands on time if it leaves three days out.
Wettest months (June and May). Around 6.3 and 6.0 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.
Weather only matters for the shipped box. The same-day flowers on this page are carried in by a local florist and handed over, whatever the month.
