September in Hines: afternoons around 78°F, nights around 37°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 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, March, April, October, November and December). The average low reaches 16°F in December. Jams, sauces and fresh fruit should not spend a night outside; offices, senior residences and hospitals all receive indoors.
Wettest months (December and January). Around 1.5 and 1.3 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.
