I see you've posted this twice. To find replies once you are off the first page click on your name above the posts and you will find all your old posts.

Williamsburg will probably be hot and humid in late June -- you could luck out with reasonable weather, but I'd plan on wicked hot. Start your day early to avoid crowds and heat, relax around the pool in the afternoon and go back out late in the day.

June weather is impossible to predict. Could be cool and rainy or hot and humid. The Marriott timeshare in FC looks lovely but I've never stayed there myself. It is in a residential area. Search for kids in Williamsburg for entertainment ideas.

I just saw this thread. I live in Williamsburg--as a matter of fact I live in Ford's Colony--and believe you will find the weather to still be pleasant. What the other poster said about the weather being unpredictable is correct, but most of our heat and humidity doesn't get here until July and August. The Marriott is a very nice place.

My daughter and I were in Virginia the first half of June 2005. The first few days were spent in Richmond and Staunton and we were freezing! Then we headed to Williamsburg -- just in time for the infamous heat and humidity. I live in San Antonio and am used to heat (and moderate humidity), but this stuff knocked us out flat! We would walk about a half-block in Williamsburg before having to sit on a bench and rest for 10-15 minutes. Although we loved Williamsburg, we would have enjoyed ourselves much more if the weather had been less extreme.

Then you should be glad you weren't here in July.

We have visited Williamsburg in both June and July. Our trip in June wasn't bad, it was pretty warm, but manageable.

Our trip in July was brutal. The heat and humidity were unreal. We really enjoy Williamsburg, but the next time I go, it will be early spring or fall. I will not do Williamsburg in the summer again - EVER.
