- Quick-service restaurants: 47. Their website should show today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.

The Long Beach climate, from a business owner’s view
Long Beach weather, in normals: July highs around 82°F, January lows around 17°F, measured at Laporte, 11 miles away (1991-2020). About 43 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. Snowfall averages about 65 inches a year. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 119 times a year. Winter reshuffles demand: plowing and heating in winter, yard work and construction once it thaws. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, say so in plain words and keep the contact form short.
