Weather around Indianapolis
The land around Indianapolis is mostly flat, so the weekend usually comes down to timing. Fronts cross quickly, and one day is often much better than the other.
The hills of southern Indiana around Bloomington and French Lick are the usual drive, with shade and lakes. North toward Lake Michigan, Michigan City can be cooler than inland in spring and early summer when the wind is off the water.
How we pick
"Good" means a high from 55F to 88F, a forecast of sun or clouds, and at most a 30% chance of rain or snow, with no thunderstorm, dangerous heat or cold, strong gusts or smoke. "Mixed" means one day is good and the other isn't. Picks are ordered by that, then by the forecast and how much of a destination the town is.
Drive times start at the center of Indianapolis and go to the center of each town. They come from a table built on OpenStreetMap and do not include traffic or seasonal road closures.
