The most popular time of year to visit Lenox is during the summer, but the best time of year to go just might be the fall.  Tourists flock to the area during the summer, many of them being “summer people” who have summer homes in the area though they spend the rest of the year living in nearby major cities.  For more information about the summer people, see http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g41... .  In order to cater to these visitors, a majority of the exciting annual events in the area take place during the summer.  (For more information on such events, see http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g41... .)  However, there are plenty of activities going on in the fall, without the crowds of summer tourists.  Fall weather is beautiful in the area so visitors who can visit at that time just might be pleasantly surprised.

Summer temperatures in Lenox are generally not excessively warm but high levels of humidity can make it seem somewhat warmer than the temperature readings.   Fall temperatures are nice during the day and only slightly chilly at night.   The winter months can be harsh in the area, with highs averaging between thirty and forty degrees.   There is a steady chance of rain throughout most of the year although rain is rare at the end of winter.   More information about Lenox weather is available at http://www.city-data.com/city/Lenox-M... or http://www.wunderground.com/US/MA/Len... .
