Climate figures represent ten-year monthly averages (2015 to 2024) of daily daytime highs, overnight lows and days with at least 1 mm of precipitation. Weather data source: Open-Meteo and national meteorological services.

Questions about seasonal travel planning

How do you pick the best destinations for each month?

We compare ten-year monthly climate normals (daytime high temperatures, overnight lows, total rainfall and rainy days with at least 1 mm of rain) for every destination we cover. When you choose a month and a weather feel, destinations in their comfortable, drier season rise to the top.

Can I filter by trip style and live events as well as weather?

Yes. Combine any month and temperature range with our trip style filters (Beach and Coast, Culture and History, Nature and Mountains, or Food and City Break). Cards also highlight verified concerts, tours and cultural festivals taking place in that destination during the selected month.

How does the side-by-side city comparison work?

Press "Compare" on up to three destination cards. A comparison tray opens at the bottom of the screen so you can inspect all twelve months of daytime temperatures, rainfall, recommended trip length and local transport advice side by side.

Where does the climate data come from?

Monthly averages are calculated from historical daily weather series (2015 to 2024) via Open-Meteo and national meteorological normals. Every destination card also links to our dedicated Best time to visit and What to wear guides for local seasonal advice.
