About this coverage

This edition covers 413 destinations in 213 countries and territories. Coverage varies: some countries have several regions and places, while others have one representative point.

These pages are built from the same stored data and seasonal assessment used by the interactive tool. Updates to that data are reflected on the next build; the site does not refresh its data in real time.

What the five colors mean

Editorial seasonal ratings describe conditions for a trip. They are not safety ratings or weather forecasts.

1. Avoid: Skip this month: weather, seasonal closures or other issues will clearly get in the way
2. Not ideal: Your trip will likely be affected, e.g. heat, rainy season or crowds
3. OK: Doable, but not the best time of year
4. Good: A good month to go
5. Best: The best time of the year

Data dates and limits

Climate snapshot prepared 2026-10-04. Temperature and rainfall use 1991 to 2020 averages; humidity and cloud cover use 2001 to 2020 averages. Sea temperatures use 1991 to 2020 averages.

Travel advisory snapshot dated 2026-10-13. Individual advisories may be older, and this snapshot may not reflect current guidance.

Price data collected 2026-10-04. Estimates use the data available in this snapshot for each country, with reference years ranging from 2021 to 2025. These are not current travel quotes.

Safety levels (US State Department travel advisories)

Levels come from a stored snapshot of US State Department travel advisories, which are written for US travelers. They may not reflect current conditions or every regional risk. Some small states and territories use another country's level; no label does not mean no risk. Check current guidance relevant to your nationality and circumstances before traveling.

$ tags: local food & lodging prices

Based on the World Bank International Comparison Program (ICP 2021) price level for restaurants and hotels, adjusted where later exchange-rate and inflation data are available. Reference years vary by country. These national averages cover food and lodging, not flights or a personal trip budget. Singapore and Hong Kong were moved to $$ by hand to reflect higher tourist hotel costs.
