Find your ideal travel weather anywhere in the world. Select a week to see which destinations have the best conditions, or customize the map to match your own temperature and rain preferences.
What is “Ideal Weather”?
Most travelers prefer warm, dry weather with no snow on the ground. Each location is scored 0 to 3 based on how many of these conditions are met during that week:
- Daily lows above 45°F (7°C) and highs below 85°F (30°C)
- Average temperature between 55°F and 75°F (13°C–24°C)
- Less than a 14% chance of significant rain (roughly one day per week)
A score of 3 (Ideal) means all conditions are met, with warm days, cool nights, and very little rain. A score of 0 (Poor) means none of these conditions are met. For locations where ideal conditions are never reached year-round, the map still shows the best available weeks relative to that destination.
Weather data collected from stations worldwide by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), averaged over multiple decades.
How to Use the Travel Weather Map
Pick your travel week
Use the dropdown to select the week you’re planning to travel. The map updates instantly to show weather conditions for that specific window.
Read the color scale
Each dot represents a weather station. Ideal (orange) means warm days, cool nights, and little rain. Poor (blue) means the weather misses on most counts. Zoom in to see individual destinations.
Customize your preferences
The default scoring assumes most people want 55–75°F with dry skies. If you prefer hotter weather, cooler temps, or don’t mind rain, click “Customize Preferences” to set your own thresholds.

About the Data
The Travel Weather Map covers thousands of weather stations across every continent. All data comes from NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and represents multi-decade averages, not forecasts. That means the map shows what weather is typically like during a given week, not what it will be this year.
The default scoring reflects what most travelers consider good weather: daytime highs between 55°F and 85°F, overnight lows above 45°F, and low probability of rain. Destinations that never reach a perfect score still show their best relative weeks, so the map is useful even for places with year-round heat or monsoon seasons.
If the defaults don’t match what you’re looking for, the “Customize Preferences” quiz lets you set your own temperature range and rain tolerance. The map rescores every station in real time based on your inputs.
