Hi,
My wife Jenny and I and are are planning to arrive in Washington DC on 15
May for a couple of weeks, and then a couple of weeks touring (including NYC
and maybe Boston and perhaps a couple of days down Charleston way) leaving
the USA on about 15 June
and were wondering about the type of weather we may expect at that time of
the year - especially in the Washington area.
We would appreciate any advice please
Thanks and Regards
Trevor and Jenny

Look up Washington, select Records and Averages, select your month, and
voila.
Or;
www.wunderground.com
Select Trip planner, select the date range corresponding to your trip, more
voila.
This is what the Internet was made for.

With recent warming trends, you can expect daily highs from 65 to 85 deg. F, and
lows in the 50s to 60s, with no more than a a few rain showers, in Washington.
That's one of the nicest periods of the year here.

We spent a week in DC last April (mid month) and we had 90 degree temps 4 of
our 7 days!! We were not prepared for it to be that warm and only brought
one pair of shorts each, thus needed to do some shopping. Check the
averages as others have recommended, but be prepared a bit on the warmer and
cooler side than those averages!
ALSO, bring the best walking shoes you can find. There is so much to see
and do in DC and it is all so close together (relatively) that you will find
yourself walking all day long, many days in a row.

We were there in early April a couple years ago and nearly froze to death.
It was windy and cool. My niece loaned us gloves. The cherry blossoms were
pretty but it was crowded.

Hi Marianne - we must have been there at the same time. 6-7
April '03. Bloody freezing.

It seems to vary then.
We spent two days in early April '03, just at blossom time.
Nearly froze to death. We couldn't see the Capitol through
the blizzard on one day. We flew out to snowy New York
City:-)

Spring is probably the most variable season of the year. Even more so
than autumn in my experience.

There are some sites that give you the average temps for different
cities - the best one I've seen so far (and I've only looked at 3 or 4)
was askjeeves.com. It gave me more info than the other ones i've
looked at. April can go from snowstorms to tropical. Make 2 lists of
clothes then check weather.com, accuweather.com, etc. to find out which
list you should use to pack from right before you go. Boston is
usually a lot cooler than NYC. Washington tends to be muggier and
warmer.
