How about a trip to Indio, California
A Brief Summary
Not far from sleepy golfers paradise, Palm Springs, lies the inconspicuous town of Indio, California. Meteorologically blessed in April with long, hot, sunny days and balmy nights, this region of southern California plays host to Coachella (named after the valley in which it lies). This music and arts festival began in 1999 and is now globally acclaimed as one of the largest of its types in the world with well over a quarter of million people visiting over the course of 2 weekends! Not only does this event, similar to Glastonbury in the UK attract some legends of the music world, but it is also a showground for new and upcoming artists in hip-hop, pop, indie, dance and rock. Sleep is not something you’ll get a lot of here during the festival, but hey, we only live once right!?

About the Weather
The Western US desert region is dry, hot and extremely sunny. Winter months are cool due to the dry desert air and lack of insulating cloud with temperatures of 14-17°c. Light rain falls a few times a month and snow does fall in the city from time to time, but seldom heavily and rarely lasts more than a day. Spring starts in March, which is warm, mostly dry and very sunny. April increases the warmth and sunshine and reduces the rainfall with temperatures of 26°c and humidity dropping to about 25%. May through to September is predominantly dry, (although July and August can see occasional rains moving through), exceptionally sunny with almost completely clear skies, very low humidity (often below 20%) and very hot. Temperatures of 35-40°c are commonplace and 43°c and above has been recorded every month from May to September. October is warm, sunny and mostly dry, while November is mild at roughly 20°c, sunny and still mostly dry.
