Best Times to Visit West Palm Beach

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.

You'll be greeted by temperatures that fluctuate between the mid-60s and high 80s while avoiding 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. Keep in mind, though, that Florida's hurricane season comes in the fall, so weather could be an issue at this time.

March-May - Best Time to Visit

With temperatures that hover between the low 60s and mid-80s, spring in West Palm Beach provides visitors with warm weather sans the crowds that swarm in the summer and winter. However, snowbirds typically don't return north for the summer until after Easter, so consider planning your trip during late spring to ensure thinned crowds and the best rates. Also, be sure to catch SunFest, one of the largest music festivals in Florida.
