Best Time to Visit Bethesda, MD

Bethesda has a nice climate for travel or business plans. With nearly 200 sun-filled days and summer temperatures averaging near 90 degrees and winter lows dipping to the mid-20s, there's a season for all reasons for visiting Bethesda.

Visitors have several options for travel time to Bethesda. It all depends on what you have on your itinerary. For the best in pricing and minimal leisure and business crowds, winter is the season. Unfortunately, you can expect cold temperatures and wet days.

Fall is always a nice time to visit to enjoy cool temperatures and observing the brilliance of the seasonal changing of the leaves.

Spring brings the cherry blossoms in D.C. and with them, crowds, congested traffic, and an increase in hotel rates and a decrease in hotel availability is a possibility.

Summer is the best time for many vacationers. This is the high season and the temperatures, rates, and the demand for accommodations show it. While this is a busy time of year, the temperatures can be brutal. It's recommended if visiting during this time to plan outdoor excursions in the early morning or early evening and avoid being at outside attractions during the heat of the day.

Overall, March through May and mid-October to mid-November are the most comfortable times when it comes to temperatures. March through July is the time that visitors will see an increase in hotel rates.
