Virginia Beach Climate & Temperature

Virginia Beach is pleasantly moderate all year long. We have our roller coaster of weather from September until April.  But once summer hits, it is here to stay and it is awesome!

Winters can be moderate and normally spring comes sooner and fall stays longer. The average rainfall is 45.22 inches and the average snowfall is just 8.2 inches (and it nearly always melts as soon as the sun comes out).

Heat and Humidity

Anywhere there is a large body of water (aka the ocean), there will be humidity.  Virginia Beach is a prime example.  When it is hot, it feels even hotter due to the humidity. Be sure to check the weather forecast before you arrive and also the relative humidity.
