Best time to Visit
West Palm Beach can be enjoyed year-round thanks to its subtropical climate. However, to avoid the hottest temperatures and largest crowds, the best times to visit are late spring (April to May) and early fall (September to October). Keep in mind that fall also marks Florida's hurricane season, so while weather disruptions are possible, severe hurricanes rarely impact the region. Summer brings high temperatures and humidity, though hotel rates tend to be lower during this period. On the other hand, from December to February, the weather is cooler and more pleasant, but it's also the peak season, which makes the city more expensive to visit.
