Before you start packing, let me walk you through the charisma of Palm Springs month by month.

 

January: A Cool Oasis

Don’t be fooled. January may be the coldest month, but we’re talking desert cold. With temperatures hovering around the mid-60s, it’s refreshing without being chilly. Bonus? The Palm Springs International Film Festival happens this month. Film buffs, rejoice!

March: Blooming Desert

Witness the desert come alive with wildflowers. The color contrast is breathtaking, and the temperatures are just warm enough for poolside lounging.

 

April: Just Right

This is the Goldilocks of months. It’s not too hot, not too cold; it’s just right. The skies are a radiant blue, and evenings are cool enough for a cozy jacket. Music lovers? Coachella is calling!

While the mercury starts its upward climb, early May is still pleasant. Think pool parties, cold brews, and those irresistible desert sunsets.
