I've been here in Dec (way too cold, had to cut the trip short) and Feb (getting warm, but still pretty chilly by mid-afternoon). Am hoping that late June would be nicely palatable - but not quite burn-your-feet-on-the-concrete scorching.
I've been unfortunately spoiled by the tropics, but am trying to figure out whether I should stick with the quick weekend trip here from SoCal as an initial summer family outing, or just bite the bullet and $chlep everybody to Hawaii.
February, March, & April are the best times to visit Palm Springs. Historically, the average temp in February is 75 degrees. While that is not hot I'd say it's still a comfortable temperature. I'm surprised you thought it was cold during your February trip.
