Palm Springs, Kaliforniya hava durumu: Şubat

Joshua Tree-forum threads on a February visit call this a genuinely cool, crisp window, posters describing conditions as cold enough at the end of January into February that an inch of accumulation isn't out of the question. Regulars call real layers worth packing regardless of the forecast, days here capable of warming up considerably once the sun is fully out. Posters call February a real sweet spot before the wildflower crowds of March and April, considerably quieter than the park's busiest stretch. Regulars recommend avoiding the MLK weekend specifically, crowds there noted as a real exception to the otherwise quieter month. Posters recommend bringing food and water into the park regardless of trip length, no services available once inside. Regulars call the Arch, Heart Rock, Skull Rock and Jumbo Rocks all solid February picks, easy hikes well suited to shorter winter daylight. The record: 18.2C days feeling like 18C, 5.4C nights, 13.3mm across over 2 days and 39 percent humidity.

Forum posters describe May in Palm Springs as genuinely hot, with highs commonly in the upper 90sF especially later in the month - one May visitor reported highs in the upper 90s to low 100sF most days, along with warm overnight temperatures and occasional poor air quality from blowing dust and sand. Posters consistently recommend early May specifically over late May for anyone prioritizing pool time without triple-digit heat, describing that window as warm enough to swim in an unheated pool while still falling short of the true 100+F heat typical from June through September. Posters consistently flag May, alongside late October, as a genuine shoulder-season sweet spot for avoiding peak winter rates while still getting comfortable outdoor conditions, at least early in the month. Posters generally recommend planning outdoor time for morning or evening once temperatures climb later in May.

November is the desert at its best, and the forum's own window is roughly 15 October to 1 December: days around 24°C, nights dropping to about 12. Two things they raise that the temperature cannot. First, light — the sun goes behind the mountains close to 4pm and it is dark by about 5 by mid-month, which shortens an afternoon far more than the date suggests. Second, timing inside the month: the end of November fills up with snowbirds arriving and Thanksgiving. Pools swim fine on a sunny day if heated; unheated ones really do not. Rain is rare, though storms do pass through.
