What to Expect from Palm Springs Weather
All the windmills outside of Palm Springs are an indicator of something the visitor's bureau probably won't tell you about Palm Springs weather: it's windy. It's also a desert. When the wind starts blowing hard, it can easily reach 60+ mph. The natural result is a sandstorm, and it's usually worst at the foot of the mountains, raging right through town. Fortunately, it's not a frequent occurrence, but if you're planning a visit, it wouldn't hurt to check the Palm Springs weather forecast before you go.
Any time of year, Palm Springs weather is likely to be sunny. Pack your sunscreen.
