Below are the best locations for a trip from August 6th to August 12th. We’ve taken into account rain, temperature, travel advisories for safety, and number of tourists in the area. In early to mid August each of these places are the perfect balance between temperate weather and smaller crowds, which also translates into better deals for tourists.

Because we’ve located areas and times where there is a greater chance for hotels/flights to be under capacity and weather is likely to be temperate and dry, the best time to book these 10 trips is usually within 1-4 weeks before travel.

1. Portimao, Portugal

Portimao has perfect weather from August 6th to August 12th. The weather is also perfect in the weeks before and ideal in the weeks after. Tourism in the area is slow during this time, and the area is not known for large crowds of tourists. Choosing Portimao this week is a great choice for anyone looking for nice weather and lower prices.

The graph below shows how temperatures feel given humidity (heat index) and wind chill. Tourist demand is usually the opposite of price: where demand is low prices are too. For Celsius: click the “best time to visit” link below the graphs.

3. Chianciano Terme, Italy

Due to the lower number of tourists, a trip to Chianciano Terme in early to mid August tends to be much less expensive, and the weather couldn’t be better. This period of ideal weather comes after a long stretch of similarly-wonderful weather. If booking a longer trip, you’ll want to know that the weather remains nice for the next 30 days. Due to the more remote nature crowds are usually manageable year-round.

4. Taos, NM, US

As with every place on this list, temperatures in Taos feel excellent, rain is infrequent, and there are no travel advisories at the moment. Tourists looking for hotels and flights are uncommon during this time, so prices may be lower. Because it’s a little less common of a destination, massive crowds aren’t likely. We could also recommend visiting earlier than this, and the weeks following have weather that is almost as good as early to mid August.
