Palm Springs features abundant sunshine, clear blue skies, low humidity, warm temperatures and only a hint of rain. This area is one of the most reliable and consistent sunny destinations in the U.S.
On average 330+ days each year are sunny. Rainfall is almost non-existent and the humidity is low in the Palm Springs area, reflecting our minimal annual rainfall. There are usually only 10 or fewer days each year during which rain actually falls in Palm Springs.

Air quality is almost always good since the surrounding mountains provide a barrier preventing the smog above the Los Angeles basin (to the west) from reaching Palm Springs.
Temperatures vary between seasons, ranging from moderate to hot. High temperatures are usually in the late afternoon and cool off quickly once the sun drops below the San Jacinto Mountains to the west. The difference between daily highs and lows is usually around 30°F.
Palm Springs is really a 4 season vacation destination:
Spring – February-May. Temperatures range from an average early morning low of 55°F to an afternoon high of 85°F (13°C-29°C). This is our busiest visitor season with many events, activities and a beautiful desert wildflower show.
Summer – June-September. It’s hot! Average temperatures are 75°-105°F (24°-41°C), but we have low humidity, and with misters in most public places and cooling towers for our pools it’s still a wonderful time for sun lovers to visit. In August we do get a small amount of humidity do to monsoon weather coming up from Mexico.
Fall – October-November. Our seasonal residents return. Temperatures are similar to spring; it’s time for desert reawaking after our long hot summer. It’s my favorite season!
Winter – December-January. Our coldest and wettest months, but not bad in comparison to other locations. Temperatures average 40°-70°F (4°-21°C). Most pools are heated to above 85°F (29°C) and December is a great holiday time; January is the official start of our social season.
No matter when you decide to visit Palm Springs, it will be a unique and special adventure!
