FAQ
What To Wear In Palm Springs In October?
When we visited Palm Springs in October the weather was still very nice and warm during the day and the sun was also strong. However, early in the morning and at night it was pretty chilly already. We could still use the unheated pool at the beginning of October, but you could tell the weather started to slowly get colder.
Therefore, if you are planning activities early in the morning or towards the evening in October bring some warmer clothes with you to Palm Springs.

For the months of December in Palm Springs, leave your light summery clothes at home. It gets a lot colder than you may think. You’d be surprised how cold it can get in the desert, especially at night!

The same goes for the month of January in Palm Springs.
