It's usually cool, breezy, and pleasant. There's plenty of rain and a reasonable amount of snowfall in the winter, particularly in January and February. When summer arrives, you'll enjoy temperatures in the high 70s. If you're packing for your West Yarmouth vacation rental during these months, you'll need a cardigan and a lightweight jacket to endure slightly brisk evenings.
