Below are the best locations for a trip from January 8th to January 14th. We’ve taken into account rain, temperature, travel advisories for safety, and number of tourists in the area. In early to mid January 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. Hengchun, Taiwan

Hengchun has perfect weather from January 8th to January 14th. The weather is also perfect in the weeks before and ideal in the weeks after. Tourism in the area is slow during this time. Choosing Hengchun 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. San Diego, CA, US

Due to the lower number of tourists, a trip to San Diego in early to mid January tends to be much less expensive, and the weather couldn’t be better. This period of ideal weather comes after some less enjoyable seasonal weathe. If booking a longer trip, you’ll want to know that the weather will be almost as enjoyable for the next 30 days. Note that it can get busy here in other seasons.

4. Sliema, Malta

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

5. McAllen, TX, US

With far fewer travelers booking during this time compared to the busiest months, hotels and airlines will probably offer some incentives to stay during this period. This is a good time to visit, but the weeks beforehand are also very nice. If you’re planning to stay for more than a week, you’ll likely find enjoyable weather the whole time.
