This is Southern California, so the weather here is rarely a concern. The average temperatures run between 60 and 80 degrees with the lower temps coming in January and February. Hotel rates reflect the beautiful weather and are steady throughout the year with minor spikes in January and August.
Most attractions in the area are open year-round, meaning there isn't really a bad time to visit Cypress. Some attractions, like Knott's Berry Farm, have extended hours in the summertime.

But if you live in a place where the average January temperature is 20 degrees, the winter months might be more attractive to you.
