When to Go to Palm Springs

Because Palm Springs and the surrounding desert average 350 sunny days a year, you are almost assured a chance to get in a round or two of golf or some lounging by the pool whenever you visit. During the season (January through May), as everybody calls it, the desert weather is at its best, with daytime temperatures ranging between 70°F and 90°F.

This is the time when you're most likely to see colorful displays of wildflowers and when most of the golf and tennis tournaments take place. The fall months are nearly as lovely, with the added bonus of being less crowded and less expensive. In summer, daytime temperatures may rise above 110°F, though evenings cool to the mid-70s. Some attractions and restaurants, particularly those in the Borrego Springs area, close during this period.
