Summer seems like the natural choice for a Florida vacation. However, the state enjoys warm weather all year round, so there's no need to restrict yourself to the summer months. In fact, the influx of summer tourists and high steamy temperatures, which regularly exceed 90 degrees, means you may prefer to stay away!
Instead, plan a visit for the end of spring or the beginning of fall. During these times you'll find temperatures are much more pleasant, typically ranging from the mid-60s to the high 80s. There also aren't as many tourists, so you'll enjoy cheaper airfares and better hotel rates in Wellington. Just note that fall is hurricane season for Florida so, while it's warm, harsh winds and rain could dampen your Wellington vacation plans.
Winter is also a popular choice, with its average highs in the mid-70s much more agreeable than winter temperatures in many other American cities. However, these favorable conditions increase demand. If you have your heart set on escaping your own chilly part of the world, make sure you book your hotel well in advance.
