The best places to visit in August
In Europe, millions of tourists from all over the world invade beaches of southern Europe. The climate is ok to travel in almost all the continent with some areas heavily affected by the heat (Andalusia, southern Italy, Greece, etc.).
Northern Europe is very nice and summer is the ideal time to visit more countries usually cold and wet, such as Ireland, Scotland or the Netherlands.
In Asia, it is undoubtedly the least favorable season: the monsoon is at its peak over the region, leaving only a few areas (Kerala and Tamil Nadu in India, Bali and the islands of southern Indonesia, northern Australia, etc.).. Elsewhere a hot, moist climate prevails.
In Africa, the Maghreb countries are invaded by tourists, the weather is warm (sometimes very hot to the gates of the desert) and dry, the Atlantic coast of Morocco remains enjoyable thanks to the influence of the ocean. Further south there is the rainy season and it is only latitudes of Kenya and Tanzania that we find a favorable climate for the visit.
In America, the North is generally dry and warm (sometimes hot in the deserts of the western USA). Central America knows a little rainy season further south but the conditions become favorable.
Avoid: If July and August are often favorable to travel, this is not true in terms of quietness and prices. The great majority of European countries are on holiday during these two months, the hotels are crowded and prices higher for most destinations.
