Weather & Average Temperatures
Plan your Hendricks County visit with seasonal weather information, average temperatures, and practical packing tips for every time of year.
Hendricks County experiences all four seasons, giving visitors something different to enjoy throughout the year. Because Indiana weather can change quickly, checking the forecast and packing layers are always recommended.
Spring brings warmer temperatures, blooming landscapes and occasional rain showers. Average highs climb from the low 50s in March to the low 70s in May, making it a great time to explore the trails and wildflowers at McCloud Nature Park or stroll through one of the county’s many other parks. Bring a light jacket, comfortable shoes and rain gear if you plan to spend time outdoors.
Summer is typically warm and humid, with average highs reaching the low to mid-80s. Cool off at Splash Island Family Waterpark or Murphy Aquatic Park , enjoy a visit to Natural Valley Ranch or experience the excitement at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park . Lightweight clothing, sunscreen and plenty of water will help keep you comfortable while attending festivals and exploring outdoor attractions.
Fall begins with warm days in September before temperatures cool through October and November. It’s an ideal season to pick apples, navigate the corn maze and enjoy other seasonal activities at Beasley’s Orchard or take in the fall colors along the trails at McCloud Nature Park . Pack layers so you can adjust between mild afternoons and cooler mornings and evenings.
Winter is cold, with average daytime temperatures generally ranging from the mid-30s to the low 40s. Snow and ice are possible, although conditions vary throughout the season. Stay warm while the kids burn off some energy at indoor attractions such as Urban Air Adventure Park or Slick City Action Park . You can also catch a performance at Hendricks Live! or explore the shops and restaurants at The Shops at Perry Crossing . A warm coat, hat, gloves and weather-appropriate shoes are recommended when heading outdoors.
