General regional planning context (not project evidence)

This editorial context comes from broad state climate guidance, not from the customer or estimate record. California is categorized here as a Mediterranean / coastal climate (mild coastal temperatures inland heat, and salt-air corrosion near the coast). For general screen system planning, independently verify product ratings for the regional wind exposure (moderate, with sundowner and Santa Ana events in southern regions), UV load (high UV at altitude and in inland valleys), mounting surface, and local code requirements.
