BEST TIME TO
VISIT DETROIT, MICHIGAN
Summer (and late Spring and
early Fall) is the most popular season in Michigan and Detroit.
If you want to privilege the weather and the city animation,
then Summer is the season.
If you just take into account the weather, early and mid
Autumn is the
best time to visit Detroit and Michigan. Autumn brings with it
agreeable and warm temperatures, and very nice days.
Detroit's winters are severe,
with occasional snowstorms and intense rainfalls.
Snowstorms and
ice storms are current in months as December,
January and February. But
if you mainly want to enjoy Detroit museums or other
indoor activities and benefit from lower
accommodation rates and fewer crowds then winter isn't exactly a
bad time. On the contrary, it can be a very good time (as early
Spring or late Fall).
WHEN NOT TO GO TO
DETROIT, MICHIGAN
You may want to avoid the winter
months, when temperatures attain very low levels, and occasional
snowstorms strike Michigan.
If you want to bet in low
accommodation rates, then July and August aren't the better
months. Besides, humidity and high temperatures may also turn
some days of July and August very uncomfortable. See the
Detroit Weather Data Map below, for details.
