Historical weather data, all-time temperature records, and monthly climate averages for Rancho Mirage, CA. Explore typical weather conditions by week for trip planning, and see how today compares to the historical record.
April 5th sits in that sweet spot of the Coachella Valley spring — historically averaging a high of 84° with virtually no chance of rain (just 4% over 112 years of records). The date has seen wild swings though: a scorching 107° back in 1904 and a teeth-chattering 38° low in 1945.
Rancho Mirage is one of the hottest places in North America, and the numbers prove it — an all-time high of 123° in June 1970 that's simply brutal by any measure. The cold extreme of 13° in January 1937 shows the desert can occasionally bite back, but the real story here is the heat.
If you're planning a visit, aim for November through March when highs run a very livable 69°–80° — summer is genuinely extreme, with average highs topping 100° from June through September and peaking around 108° in mid-July. Rain is almost a non-event year-round, with even the wettest stretch (late December) averaging just 0.16 inches.
