In my home country late spring or early summer would be the best time to visit. That is when there in a chance of mild weather and not too much rain. That would be May or June. If the traveler goes in late July or August places can be crowded and hot weather is not always around like it is meant to be.
When I teach full time all year round I like to travel in the Easter holidays, summer holidays or Christmas Holidays. So those times of year are April, late July to August and late December to early January.
I like it when I have a teaching contract that ends during the school term. Then I have been able to travel to Europe in June and to New Zealand in November. I like February and November when I am off work at those times of the year.
Which is the best month or months to visit your home country?
Which month is your favorite for a trip overseas?
Do you prefer hot weather, mild days and nights or cold weather?

June is usually a good time to visit more to the USA. Down south, maybe May. Depends on what you want to do. For swimming all the time, July.

I actually think May and October are the best times to travel, especially without children. Most kids are in school and the weather is mostly mild all over the United States. Plus, a lot of places, like the Grand Canyon, aren't nearly as crowded.
I like my weather a little warm and slightly tropical as long as the sun is not shining on my apartment or hotel room all day making it hotter than the outside.

As I live in the Caribbean I love to travel during our summer.This year my daughter and I went to the U.K. and then my two sisters joined us and we went to Rome. It was magic. Very special and we had a great time together.
We have just suffered from a tropical storm and another is on its way so I am not able to mylot much as work has to be done first

I think the month of February and March is best for travelling. Because in these months there are no much problem of hot and cold. Because these moths are between hot day and cold day. So I like to travel in these months.

For most of the places in India, the time from Late January to February or November to early December (except for some very high mountaineous areas which are too cold, or almost cut off from other parts during that time) are good.
There are some parts in South and West India which have almost the same kind of weather throughout the year. However, avoid going in July and August when it rains quite heavily in many parts and it becomes very difficult to travel to many parts of the country.
As for myself, I prefer a moderate weather to slightly cold, rather than hotter weather.

People around here seem to think that winter is the best time to travel. Everybody wants to get out of the cold, and go some place warmer.
Not me though. I like the cold weather. If I had my choice for travel, it would be in the summer. And to a place where it is colder. I appreciate the sun and all the activities associated with summer, I just don't like too much heat that burns the skin.

Hi,
It depends on the place of travel. I will prefer to travel during the summers to hill stations to chill out, then my kids will have a long vacation and we will be able to have a long vacation. I prefer to travel in December to enjoy the snow and sweaters
in general feb-march is the best time, but school going kids can't travel much.
I plan my travels according to the school vacations. and select the place for best weather conditions.
