California Conditions That Matter for Events

Across the 544 California places listed here (NOAA 1991–2020 normals by nearest station):

  • 224 of 544 listed places average 60+ days a year at 90°F
  • 6 of 544 listed places are in the wet band (46+ inches a year or 12+ days with an inch)
  • 63 of 544 listed places average 30+ nights a year at 32°F

Conditions differ enough across the state that the city pages are the better guide; the PSAI sizing below applies everywhere.

Range Across the State

Across the 544 listed California places with this figure (NOAA 1991–2020 normals), the low end is about 0 days a year at 90°F or more (Eureka, Arcata and 5 other listed places) and the high end about 187 (Indio, Coachella and 4 other listed places); the middle place is near 39.

By Climate Region

By DOE Building America climate region (county level, PNNL guide), the planning focus shifts: Hot-Dry (382 places): shade, staking and water on sunny, dusty sites; Marine (145 places): firm ground through long damp seasons; Mixed-Dry (10 places): staking against wind and units that cope with cold winters; Cold (7 places): an outdoor season limited by long freezing winters.

Most Days at or Above 90°F

Among listed California places with 10,000 or more residents, ranked by NOAA 1991–2020 normals. These are the places where event servicing, shade and hand-wash water need the most planning. Places that share a NOAA station show the same figure; ties are listed alphabetically.

How Many Units

The PSAI chart sizes event restrooms by crowd and hours, assuming no servicing during the event:

10,00015253850637588100

For a five-hour event of 1,000 people, the chart gives 9 units; with alcohol, 10 to 11, and at least 1 accessible unit per cluster.

Who Handles Local Rules

For a special event on public property, a park reservation, or restroom rows on a street or sidewalk, the government to ask depends on where the site is. Of the 544 listed California places, 351 are incorporated, 193 are unincorporated Census-designated places. In an incorporated place, ask the city, town, village or borough; in an unincorporated community, ask the county. We don't say whether a permit is needed; each city page names who to ask.

What to Ask For

  • Expected attendance, including staff, vendors and volunteers
  • Event hours and whether it runs over several days
  • Whether alcohol or food will be served
  • ADA units (at least 5% of each cluster) and hand-wash stations
  • Delivery and pickup windows the venue allows
