West Virginia has four distinct seasons. Its mountainous terrain means that there can be marked differences in the weather at any one time-the mountains tend to be cooler than the rest of the state (and downright cold in winter), though it can get hot there, too. Summer is hot and showery, with highs in the upper 80s F/30 C (80 F/26 C in the mountains). Opportunities for hiking, camping and white-water rafting begin in the spring and last until autumn. Spring temperatures range 43-76 F/5-24 C, with lots of runoff from the 60+ in/152+ cm of snow in the mountains. Summer thundershowers help keep river levels up. The ski season usually runs November-February. Winter temperatures range 19 to 40 F/-7 to -4 C in the mountains, with occasional drops to 0 F/-18 C. Most attractions are open year round. Except for those travelers interested in winter sports, we recommend visiting West Virginia in the spring for white-water rafting and in summer and fall for touring.
