During these seasons, you'll find comfortable temperatures and less humidity, making it ideal for walking around the waterfront and enjoying outdoor activities. Spring brings blooming flowers to areas like the Norfolk Botanical Garden, while autumn offers colourful foliage and generally clear skies. Both periods also often feature a good range of local festivals and events without the peak summer crowds.

For those who enjoy warmer weather and spending time by the water, the summer months (July and August) are also a popular choice. While it can be hot and humid, this is prime time for water-based excursions on the Elizabeth River and for enjoying the lively option of the downtown area.
