Lexington is known for its hot, humid summers and cool winters. Pack light if you're heading to your Lexington vacation rental during the warmest months of June to August, when the highs soar into the 80s and 90s (and possibly even triple digits). Low temps can dip below freezing as early as November and stay there until March, when you might see the occasional snow. Expect scattered rain throughout the year. The fall foliage displays are stunning, especially in late October and early November when they hit their peak.
