Knowing the best seasons to travel to different parts of the world is a game changer if you wish to experience the best each place can offer. Although, it still depends on your goals.
The number one factor people consider when traveling to a certain place is the weather. But it might include the best time to observe wildlife, see festivals, or the best time for picture-taking.
To give a little idea on the best seasons to travel parts of the world, just read along.
North America
If you wish to visit the bears in the likes of Yellowstone National Park, the months of March, April, and May are the best. While for polar bear viewing in Churchill, Canada, the best months are October and November.
The best times to visit Alaska generally are from mid-May until mid-September when wildflowers bloom at their best.
On months of February, March and April are the best times o witness the sensational Northern Lights up inside Canada’s Yukon Territory.
Furthermore, if you’re looking for serious hiking in the famous USA canyons, the temperature in the months of July and August can be intense and severely high. Instead, consider touring them during winter.
South America
Seasons in South America are quite reversed from North America. In northern South America, sitting close to the equator, the heat is less variable the whole year and is much more reliant on altitude.
Countries like Chile and Argentina are cold from the months of May up to September. While the perfect time to visit Patagonia is around October to May when it is a little bit warmer and less airy.
Central America
During the months of September and October are the most humid months in central America. June to August, on the other hand, are not as wet compared to early fall, and usually bring more rain than different times of the year but rain showers are normally short and then succeeded by abounding sunshine and cool and fresh air.
This season is known as the “Green Season” and offers benefits for tourists. The months of December until March is considered a high season in Central America because it is typically dry, and gives a quick break from the cold coming from the northern latitudes.
Africa
The best time for travel in Africa is determined by the rainy season which is the migration period of animals and is considered as the peak of tourist vacation.
Generally, North Africa which is near the Mediterranean coast of the countries Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia are cold during winter, although ideal during early spring and fall but still hot during summer.
Going to West Africa, the perfect time to visit is during late summer into the winter just after the rains start and the warm winds of spring and early summer have receded.
Asia
The best time to travel to Asia actually varies with country, latitude, and respective season. This is because Asia is the largest continent.
Northern Asia, including China and Mongolia, is cold during the middle of winter and warm during Summer. The months of April and May are very heated months in India and the rest of Southeast Asia. However, the Himalayas have moderate weather from these months through the middle of September and around November. This is an excellent time to view the snowy Himalayas of the countries Nepal and Bhutan.
Australia
Australia has generally one of the best weather. Usually, the south is cool to cold during the months of June until August, but a little warm from October through March. The far northern part has sultry, humid weather from November to March.
But if you wish to witness their national parks with their wonderful animal creatures, any time of the year is perfect.
