What to Expect on Mother's Day
Mother's Day in mid-May is one of the most reliably pleasant holidays weather-wise across the US. Most of the country has transitioned fully into spring, with many cities enjoying highs in the 70s and 80s. Late spring storms are still possible in the Midwest and Southeast, but prolonged cold is rare.
Mother's Day is statistically one of the best holidays for outdoor dining, with fewer weather cancellations than any other major spring holiday.
Planning Tips for Mother's Day
- •Outdoor brunch or garden events are generally safe across most of the country by mid-May
- •The Southeast may see afternoon thunderstorms, so morning activities are more reliable
- •Mountain and northern states may still be cool, especially in the evenings
