Why go

Season affects available daylight as well as temperature. Long June days leave more time outdoors, while December brings a much shorter daylight window. Rain is not confined to one season, and mild winter averages do not rule out frost. For a trip combining coastal landscapes with the southeast, expect differences rather than treating one forecast as a national picture.

Useful to know

  • Check the forecast for the coast or southeastern destination you will actually visit.
  • Keep a waterproof layer available in every season; summer does not remove the possibility of rain.
  • Plan outdoor sightseeing around the shorter daylight window in winter.
