September in Rising Star: afternoons around 87°F, nights around 63°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 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). The average low reaches 31°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 5.0 and 3.7 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.
