October in Mulberry: afternoons around 71°F, nights around 45°F. Nothing in the forecast averages argues against a doorstep delivery; any basket in the catalog travels well.
Heat (July and August). Afternoons average 85°F or more, peaking near 89°F in August. 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 23°F in January. Jams, sauces and fresh fruit should not spend a night outside; offices, senior residences and hospitals all receive indoors.
Wettest months (May and June). Around 6.8 and 5.4 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.
