Best time to visit United States
86 destinations
United States does not have a single best season. Its 86 destinations peak across 11 different months, which means an itinerary that moves around the country will be in the right season for some of it and the wrong one for the rest — worth building the route around.
Averaged across every destination listed, United States is at its best in October, scoring 77 out of 100, with April close behind at 74. January is the weakest month nationally at 50. The workable window is wide — 4 months sit within eight points of the best — so a trip covering several of these places has room to move.
United States is not one climate. Phoenix averages 31 °C across the year against 6 °C in Anchorage — a 25 °C gap wide enough that advice for one is close to useless for the other. Rain splits the country further: Miami sees 190 wet days a year against 30 in Las Vegas, which is a different kind of trip rather than a slightly damper one.
