Summer is the most popular season to visit Bowmanville. With average high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s Fahrenheit from June to August, this is also the ideal season to get outside and explore the area.

If you plan your visit to Bowmanville during the fall, you can take advantage of hotel prices that are beginning to drop. September sees average highs in the upper 60s, so you'll still have some mild weather to take in the outdoor attractions.

To find the best hotel deals of the year, you'll want to plan your trip to Bowmanville in the winter. Just keep in mind that the reason prices are so low is because the weather isn't ideal for sightseeing. While Bowmanville doesn't get the extreme cold temperatures that other locations in Ontario are known for because of its proximity to Lake Ontario, December through March still sees average highs in the 20s and 30s. Additionally, each month gets between six and 12 inches of average snowfall.
Spring is short but sweet in Bowmanville. April starts out with average highs in the low 50s, and by May those temperatures are in the mid-60s. While hotel prices will slowly start climbing in anticipation of summer visitors, they won't begin to reach their highest levels until the end of May.
