Common questions

How are the months scored?

Every destination is scored for all twelve months on a three-point scale — peak, good, or off-season — weighing weather, crowds, prices, and whether the things people actually go for are open and running. Scores are set by hand per destination, not pulled from an average temperature table.

What does "off-season" actually mean?

That the month works against you in a way most travellers would notice: monsoon, hurricane risk, punishing heat or cold, or key sites and routes shut. It does not mean never go — off-season often means cheaper and emptier, and for some trips that is the trade you want.

Can I use this table?

Yes — quote it or link to it. If you republish the grid itself, a link back to this page is the only thing we ask.
