Summer heat and the parcel
July afternoons in Virginia average 86 °F, by NOAA’s 1991–2020 statewide averages. In the South Atlantic, Florida (92 °F), South Carolina (91 °F), Georgia (91 °F), Washington, DC (90 °F), North Carolina (88 °F), Delaware (87 °F) and Maryland (87 °F) run hotter. A parcel left on a porch through a summer afternoon gets warmer than the forecast. Bring it in on arrival and move the vials to a freezer at −4 °F that day.
Winter cold and condensation
January nights average 26 °F. West Virginia (23 °F) and Maryland (25 °F) are colder. A vial that arrives cold should still reach room temperature before the vacuum is broken, so moisture from the room does not condense on the powder.
The full guidance is on the storage and handling page.
