America’s weather is as diverse as its cultural influences and it can vary wildly depending upon the time of year you want to travel and which state you’re visiting. The variety of climate means that you’ll always find an ideal destination any time of year.
Each region offers its own unique experience: the Northeast and New England experience all the seasons whilst the Southeast offers a subtropical climate year-round. Enjoy a mediterranean climate along the West Coast whilst the Rocky Mountains has a cooler climate offering a winter wonderland for winter sports enthusiasts. If you like the cold - Alaska offers you long, cold winters and cool summers, but if you’re after a tropical paradise, consider Hawaii.
Whether you crave snowy adventures, sunny beaches, or cultural city breaks, the United States caters to everyone, ensuring a memorable and enjoyable holiday for all.
Due to the variety of American holidays, the best time to go depends upon what kind of holiday you want and where you’re going.
Typically, the summer months of July and August will be more expensive as it is peak tourist season, as well as the expense you will see more tourists than at other times of the year. In those states that experience a summer season (not Alaska) you’re likely to experience much hotter, more humid weather.
Spring and autumn will typically provide milder weather and fewer tourist crowds, making a great time of year for city breaks, national parks and coastal holidays. You’ll also enjoy lower prices in these shoulder seasons.
However, if you’re looking for weather-specific adventures such as winter sports, then December through to February is the right time to visit ski resorts in Colorado, Utah and Vermont. A winter holiday in New York or Chicago is a fantastic option in December to enjoy festive activities like ice skating and Christmas markets.
Enjoy a wide variety of culinary delights in America; from clam chowder in New England and cheesesteaks in Philadelphia to gumbo in the Deep South and kalua pig in Hawaii.
