Of course, weather is always variable, and higher elevations will be cooler than low-lying areas. Odds are you will find some of the best weather during May and June in:

NORTH AMERICA

TROPICAL DESTINATIONS

EUROPE

EXOTIC DESTINATION

Sure Things

  • Year-round, the weather's just about perfect in Hawaii
  • Somewhere around the world, every month of the year, a cruise ship is sailing some place wonderful.

Beat the Crowds

If golf and or boating are your thing, consider Bermuda, where waters may still be chilly but the welcomes are warm.
