Weather by month
Williamsburg
Virginia
Four real seasons in a place built before air conditioning, which explains the deep porches, the tall windows, and why everyone here has an opinion about August.
The best time to come
October and late April are the classics — the Historic Area looks the way it is supposed to and you can walk Duke of Gloucester Street all day without wilting. May is nearly as good and a little less booked, though the humidity starts asserting itself by the end of it.
