BEST TIME TO VISIT PENNSYLVANIA
Pennsylvania's weather is very similar to that of New York or New Jersey. It's changeable, with moderate precipitation all year long, with some heat waves in the summer and cool weather in the winter and early spring. Snow is concentrated in winter months.
Late-spring - May, June – or late-summer and early-fall – September, October – are excellent months for visiting Pennsylvania.
WHEN NOT TO GO TO PENNSYLVANIA
Avoid the winter months, when temperatures may reach very low levels.
Humidity and high temperatures may turn some July and August days rather uncomfortable, despite the moderating influence of the the Lake Erie in the region.
