The weather is wonderful in the spring, and this is the busiest time of year for tourist attractions. Springtime is beautiful when the flowers blossom. An annual spring spectacular is when the cherry trees are in bloom. The peak bloom period lasts only a few days, and precisely when it happens varies each year.
One of the best times to visit Washington DC is during the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival to view the peak bloom of cherry blossom trees on the Tidal Basin. With amazing bursts of pink and white the cherry blossom trees create a huge burst of color in the nation's capital.
During the summer months, Washington, D.C., can get hot, humid and uncomfortable. July is the hottest month in Washington DC. Late July and most of August are a good time to stay indoors in the air conditioning. |

The best times to visit Washington, D.C., are from September to November and March to May. In the autumn, the sweltering summer is gone, taking with it most of the high season tourists. All that's left are crisp breezes and changing leaves, which, by the way, look great against all those marble monuments. Second to fall is spring, which is also a mini high season thanks to the National Cherry Blossom Festival in late March and early April. Summer in D.C. is hot and sticky, making less than ideal conditions for exploring the great outdoors. That said, many museums blast air conditioning, so if you can stand the heat, you'll find plenty of free attractions to keep you entertained. Winter is definitely low season. Although the chance to find lower hotel rates is high and the weather is mild compared to other destinations along the East Coast, the city is prone to freezing cold temperatures and snowstorms.
