West Palm Beach Weather – When to Visit

To avoid the hottest temperatures and biggest crowds, the best times to visit West Palm Beach are at the end of spring (April to May) and the beginning of fall (September to October).  The temperatures will fluctuate between the mid-60s and high 80s and you’ll avoid peak airfare and hotel rates. Families will flood the area when school is out during the summer, and in winter, older part-time residents (or “snowbirds”) will resettle in the area to escape the North’s cooler temperatures. Remember that Florida’s hurricane season comes in the fall, so weather could be an issue at this time.
