Given its hundreds of accommodation and dining options, and dozens of different ways to while away a day, the Greater Palm Springs and the greater Coachella Valley is the main destination. In bygone times, you had to drive two-to-three hours from Los Angeles or San Diego to reach the valley.
But nowadays you can fly into Palm Springs International Airport on 13 different airlines offering nonstop flights from 30 cities in the US and Canada. What’s the winter weather like? A lot of people consider it near perfect. The triple digits of summer have faded into a daily mean temperature of less than 80 ̊F (27 ̊C) between November and March.
Sure, it’s the rainy season. But in California’s low desert that means around one inch (25 mm) or less per month. Blue skies or sunshine are the norm.
