Maryland's Summer
oscilates
between mild and hot. There
are hot and humid days in summer, but most of the days are mild.
July is the warmest month, with average temperatures around
85-90s.
Rain peaks are attained in July and August, a period when
thunderstorms are very common.
Summer is - as expected - the most popular period in southern
resorts. Ocean city is particularly busy and crowded in summer...
In winter the weather tends to be moderate in the east and south
regions of Maryland, and very cold and disagreeable in the
western mountains. January is the coldest month, with average
temperature around 20-25s.
Mid and late Spring have mild weather, as well as Fall.
There are around 130 mild days in Garrett County (north-west
Maryland) and
around 230 mild days in southern and the lower Eastern Shore. These
are the best times for visiting Maryland, if you just want to
equate the weather issue.
Snow is rare on the lower Eastern Shore but very common in the
northwest regions of Maryland, close to Pennsylvania border
(Garret County): the Deep Greek Lake region is very popular
among winter sports enthusiasts.
WHEN NOT
TO GO TO MARYLAND
To avoid crowds and high hotel rates, avoid Ocean City region in
July and August. Avoid also weekends in the Chesapeake Bay sites
during Spring through Fall period. And do not go to Maryland
seashore resorts and outdoor places in
the Spring break, when students thronged many Maryland travel
destinations.
To avoid the risk of disagreeable weather conditions, avoid the
sometimes hot and humid July-August period and the
December-February cold period.
