when is watermelon season

Watermelon season typically runs from May through September in the United States, with the peak and sweetest period usually falling between June and August, especially July and August. During this time, watermelons are at their juiciest, sweetest, and most flavorful. The supply mainly comes from warm- weather states such as Florida, Texas, Georgia, California, and Arizona. Outside this period, watermelons are often imported and generally not as fresh or flavorful.
