September in Booker: afternoons around 85°F, nights around 54°F. Chocolate and cheese are the two to route to an address where someone can bring the box straight in; cookie, nut, coffee and spa baskets shrug off an afternoon on the step.
Heat (June, July, August and September). Afternoons average 85°F or more, peaking near 95°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, November and December). The average low reaches 18°F in January. Jams, sauces and fresh fruit should not spend a night outside; offices, senior residences and hospitals all receive indoors.
Snow (January and December). About 10 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 3.5 and 3.1 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.
