Summer, from June to August, is the peak season for visitors, with warm temperatures averaging in the high 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit.

Winter, from December to February, is the quietest season, with cooler temperatures that average from the mid-30s to low 40s. Snowfall can vary, but Cape Cod generally experiences less snow than inland locations due to the moderating effect of the ocean.

Spring, from March to May, sees a gradual warming with temperatures ranging from the 40s in early spring to the 60s by late May.
