Rancho Mirage Weather
Rancho Mirage has a desert climate with an average of 300 sunny days and only 25 inches (64 cm) of rain per year. This arid climate means that the humidity is low, making for comfortable temperatures throughout the year. The winter months are warm to mild, while the summer brings hot days with cool nights.
Temperatures for the winter months average in the high 60s (15 °C) and drop to an average of 55 (12 °C) at night. During the summer, temperatures can reach over 100 degrees on many days, but evening lows are normally in the 70s (25 °C), with a record low of 23 degrees Fahrenheit ( −5 °C).
Dust storms occur occasionally, particularly in the months of March and April. The desert environment means that there is little rain to wash away dust from the dry lake beds, so it accumulates around the city, causing a hazy sky over the entire valley for days at a time (usually followed by clearing after a rain).
Rancho Mirage Demographics
The city is made up almost entirely of retirees or people whose life-style doesn’t include full time work. People in Rancho Mirage spend most of their time golfing, relaxing or visiting/hosting friends and family.
Many residents relocated from the East coast due to mild weather year-round. Many are “snowbirds” who pay dearly to escape cold winters for six months out of each year.
Residents enjoy a low cost of living and excellent quality of life due to very low crime rates, excellent schools and high property values.
