When to visit Richmond

Richmond's temperate climate sees it donning many colours over the year. However, if warm-weather activities beckon you, plan your visit from mid-July to late August. During this period, Richmond enters its warm season, bathing in average high temperatures above 68°F. This season is exquisite for savouring the town's flourishing greenery, tranquil riverside walks or the vibrant evening scene.

Conversely, if you have a penchant for the rain's gentle pitter-patter, November would be your best bet. But be it Richmond's warm embrace or the refreshing cool of its rain-soaked streets, don't miss out on the grandeur of this historic town.
