It never rains in Southern California!  Well, not true....it DOES rain, even though rarely. People travel to Palm Springs for a wide variety of reasons but most of them revolve around living the life of luxury with great activities, sunshine and relaxation. While you can generally count on beautiful weather throughout your stay, as with any place, there comes time when the rain comes.  If you happen to be in town when it is raining, you may be wondering what to do??? Have no fear though, as there are so many things you can still take advantage of even during the biggest storms. The following are some of the most awesome things to do in Palm Springs on a rainy day. 

Here's a list of rainy-day activities of things to do in the desert.

 Discover Art 

The local community features a great deal of creativity and more importantly, a great respect for creativity. That is why your rainy is perfect for exploring countless galleries throughout town. The Palm Springs Art Museum is always good for an enchanting experience at 101 N Museum Drive.
