Where is the beach season now? Rainy season: where, when and is it really scary for a holiday?

For a long time we dreamed of getting into some exotic country finally got ready, and then they start to scare you about the rainy season? Quite a common situation. But let's figure out together what the rainy season is, and how much it can interfere with your vacation (if at all)?

We, the people of the European strip, are accustomed to the fact that there are four seasons in a year, and each has its own weather - summer, autumn, winter, spring. But with some inhabitants of the planet, the weather plays by slightly different rules: they know only two seasons - a dry, hot climate, which is replaced by the legendary rainy season (in other words, the monsoon season or low season). That's all.

What is the rainy season in Thailand?

From my own experience I can say that rains and downpours in Thailand are a short-term phenomenon, with which travelers and local residents occur most often at night. You will encounter such weather from May to October. But the rainy season in Phuket, as well as in Pattaya, Samui, Krabi or other paradise corners of this country of smiles will not at all prevent you from enjoying your holiday, the sun, the sea, or having an unforgettable time on the beach and on excursions. The air temperature is comfortable all year round. These fleeting, cheerful rains are often even a joy - they balance the heat and allow you to immerse yourself in exploring the sights and culture of this wonderful country and its islands. Among other advantages, the rainy season in Thailand is a time that surfers adore, because active holidays go well with lazy beach days.

The territory of Thailand spreads over a fairly large area, so the rainy season in different parts can be found at different times: Pattaya - late August, early September, Phuket - August and September, Koh Samui- second half of November, early December, Koh Chang Island - June, July. At this time, as a rule, the highest amount of precipitation falls here.

If you are still in doubt about whether to go to Thailand during the rainy season, then here are an additional couple of arguments for a positive decision: there are slightly fewer vacationers during this quiet season, so you will be given special attention in every already pleasant establishment. At this time, the cost of tours, hotels, flights and excursions may be much more profitable due to undeservedly low demand.

Rainy season in Vietnam

In Vietnam, the rainy season will not seem invisible to you. Sometimes it rains all day long. Since the country stretches from north to south, it is also worth understanding the seasons here in more detail. Picturesque resort Phan Thiet (southern Vietnam) is recommended for visiting during the winter months of our northern hemisphere, but in the period from May to October, downpours are not uncommon there. In Nha Trang (the central part of the country), the rainy season is shorter - from late August to December. The high season on Phu Quoc island is from November to April. But prolonged rains can be seen here only in September - November.

Vietnam's neighbor Cambodia good from November to April. The rest of the time, 80% of the annual precipitation falls here.

Rainy season in India and Sri Lanka

The most comfortable time to holiday in India is from October to February. And the rainy season in Goa and other resorts lasts from spring to mid-autumn. The climate of northern India will seem a little milder to many; the change of seasons there will not be so noticeable.

The weather is similar in Sri Lanka, which is located a little south of India. The rainy season here also cannot be called comfortable; there is a huge amount of precipitation, rivers of water flow through the streets and back streets. In the southwest of the island of Ceylon, rains begin in May and continue until November, and in the northeast, on the contrary, from October to January.

Rainy season in Bali (Indonesia)

The rainy season on the island of a thousand temples is similar to the situation in Thailand. Bali is magical place, and you will remember your holiday here for the rest of your life in any season. The least rainfall on the island falls from May to October. But in other months you can safely plan a vacation in Bali - the rains are short-lived, pleasantly cooling, most often at night; during the day, caring clouds sometimes protect you from the scorching sun, but even with an overcast sky you can calmly sunbathe, while at the same time not forgetting to use sunscreen.

Rainy season in the Caribbean (Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica)

The Dominican Republic is a country of eternal summer, but there are two seasons in paradise There are still some - the wet season (rainy season) occurs in the summer months, and the dry season occurs in the winter months. Rains in the Dominican Republic fall from May to November, have a short duration and most often occur at night.

In Cuba, the rainy season ends half a month earlier. But the influence of cyclones forming in the Caribbean Sea is an order of magnitude greater here.

The rainy months in Mexico are from May to October. From June to November, Cancun, like the rest of the country, can expect hurricanes. But many tourists write in reviews that this a rare event.

Rainy season in the Maldives

The Maldives is popular all year round. Officially, the rainy season runs from May to December, with the heaviest rainfall occurring in the summer months. It is at this time that the water on the islands becomes crystal clear, which is incredibly appreciated among lovers of diving and snorkeling (snorkeling).

Rainy season in Malaysia- an abstract concept. It rains here about 200 days a year. But such facts do not stop fans of this country. Just have a raincoat or umbrella ready. The east of Malaysia receives rain from November to February, and the north of the country from October to April; in the west, the rainy season is divided into two parts - October-November, April-May. During this time, some natural attractions will be unavailable due to large quantity water, you should take this into account when planning your trip.

But in Singapore all precipitation falls evenly throughout the year. Therefore, feel free to plan a vacation in any month. On Mauritius coral reefs reliably protect the island from bad weather even during the rainy season. Most precipitation here falls from December to March.

On Seychelles rainy season from November to March. The islands are located near the equator in Indian Ocean. The showers are short-lived, but the climate during this period is characterized by its high humidity.

IN Australia The main flow of tourists is observed in December-February; by summer it decreases significantly. March to May is the Australian autumn, and winter here falls between June and August. Spring (September-November) is the best time to see whales and wild flowers. From December to March, tropical Australia experiences the rainy season.

Rain in Egypt- a fairly rare occurrence (and the rest Africa not particularly famous for precipitation). Russian tourists love this destination and go there all year round. There are no heavy rains as such, but during the winter months the nights are quite cool. The picturesque Red Sea delights diving enthusiasts all year round.

Peak of the rainy season in Israel falls in January. The temperature may drop to an unusual +11-12 degrees. But still, during this period it is very comfortable to explore the numerous sights of the country, and dedicate your next trip to a beach holiday. If there is real heat in Israel in the summer, then spring months— most comfortable for relaxing, swimming, etc.

It is worth remembering that the deposit have a great holiday- this is a positive attitude. Even in the rain you can swim, sing, dance and have a great time. After the rain there is often a rainbow, which in itself is an unforgettable sight...

Summer is a time for vacations and school holidays. Many people want to spend their holidays at a seaside resort. Now you have a huge selection at your disposal tourist destinations, however, deciding where to go for a swim is often still difficult. When it will be opening of the beach season V different countries? In this article we will look at the most popular seaside resorts in the world. You will know when southern countries there is the most pleasant weather and the warmest water, and you can also appreciate beach season on the picture.

Basically we getting ready for the beach season in summer. Russian resorts remain popular among tourists. Now on Black Sea coast you can get a level of service comparable to foreign resorts, and prices for tickets and accommodation are relatively low. During the beach season Russian resorts you can get everything you need for have a nice rest: calm warm sea, comfortable air temperature and interesting excursion routes.

The most popular places for beach holiday in Russia - Sochi, Crimea, Gelendzhik, Lazarevskoye and nearby small villages. Beach season in Sochi and other cities opens in mid-June and continues until mid-October. Peak tourist activity occurs in August-September. It is at this time that the water is warmest - sometimes the temperature can reach 27°C.

If cooler water suits you, you can choose the end of June and July for a holiday on the Black Sea coast. The water temperature at this time is from 21 to 23°C. Many people prefer not the hot sea, because it is very refreshing on a hot day. If you want higher water temperatures in June-July, you should choose a hotel with a pool.

To ensure that the beach season at Russian resorts does not disappoint, use the following tips:

• For swimming, choose apartments and hotels near bays and bays. The water there warms up much faster than in the open sea.
• In the bays the water will also be quieter - this option is ideal for families with small children.
• If you like waves, choose long beaches. However, most beaches on the Russian coast are poorly suited for swimming during waves: usually there are large or small pebbles on the shore. Walking on it is not always comfortable, and the waves near the shore knock you off your feet and make swimming dangerous. If you are going to such a beach, take special swimming slippers with you - this will make entering the sea more comfortable.
• Many people travel with children, and August remains the only month with warm water when children have not yet started school. Therefore, prices in August at Russian resorts are always significantly higher. If there are no schoolchildren in your family, and your plans do not depend on the start of the school year, try to take a vacation in September. This way you can enjoy the warm sea for less money. In addition, in September the air temperature will not be as high, which will make your stay even more comfortable.

Beach season at European resorts

European beaches are also popular with Russian tourists. It doesn’t take long to get to them, and in addition to the beaches, in Europe you can enjoy interesting excursions and profitable shopping. However, if the main purpose of your trip is to sunbathe and swim, you should come to the resorts at the height of the beach season. When does the beach season start? in Europe?

Greece

In Greece, the beach season on the islands begins in mid-April: the water temperature rises above 20°C and many people are already starting to swim. On the Greek mainland, tourists begin to gather a little later - in mid-May.

The optimal solution is to go to mainland Greece from July to September. It is at this time that the water is warmest. However, if you do not tolerate extreme heat and humidity, you may not be too comfortable during these months, as the air temperature will also be high.

The heat is most easily tolerated on the islands, thanks to the sea breeze, so for a beach holiday and swimming you should definitely choose the islands. The downside is that prices in Crete and Rhodes will be much higher than on the mainland, especially in the warmest months. In addition, the islands are unlikely to please fans interesting excursions— there is practically nothing to see there, but on the mainland you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in history Ancient Greece. On the islands, the excursion program will mainly be limited to natural landscapes: mountains, caves and nature reserves.

Cyprus

The climate in Cyprus is very similar to Greece. The water there warms up by April and cools down in October. Mid and late summer is the most favorable time for swimming, when the water temperature rises to 27°C. The heat in Cyprus is practically not felt due to the wind.

Beach season in Cyprus long: there is warm water and picturesque beaches. This is an ideal place for relaxation and family vacation with kids. However, if you're bored of lying on the beach all day, there's not much in Cyprus interesting places that you can visit. Basically, this island is designed specifically for a beach holiday, so there is no point in coming there after the end of the beach season.

Spain

Formally, the swimming season in mainland Spain is summer. However, due to Mediterranean currents, the water in Spain is never very warm. In July and August you can count on 23-24°C. If you are unlucky, the water may be even colder - it all depends on the current, which is unpredictable. To learn some guarantees more warm sea, choose beaches with bays rather than the open sea.

The advantages of traveling to Spain are as follows:

1. Even if the sea turns out to be too cool for you, you can enjoy interesting excursions through atmospheric Spanish villages or large cities.
2. The transport system in Spain is very well developed, and from many resort towns you can easily get to Barcelona by train - you don’t even have to buy excursions from a travel agency.
3. You will surely be impressed by the historical sites, museums and shopping centers Spain. However, hot weather in summer is still conducive to a beach holiday.
4. Fans of cool water in Spain should like it. If you're unlucky with the current, most hotels have swimming pools that warm up to 28°C during the day.

Separately, among Spanish resorts it is worth highlighting Canary Islands. They are located quite far from the mainland and are considered expensive resort. However, the situation with the beach season there is much better - it lasts all year round.

The Canary Islands are washed Atlantic Ocean. The water there is always around 25-26°C, and the air temperature is approximately the same as the water. This makes a beach holiday there very comfortable - you won’t be hot during the day, and you won’t have to leave the water for hours.

Italy

Here the beach season lasts all summer, and, if you’re lucky, sunbathing and swimming will be quite comfortable in September. Air and water temperatures will depend on the region. On the mainland the air will be hotter, and the temperature at sea will be more unpredictable.

But mainland Italy is good for traveling around historical places combined with a beach holiday. Moreover, such a trip can be quite cheap - in popular resort Rimini can be found budget hotels. There good beaches and well-established tourist services. Plus, the resort's location makes it easy and affordable to visit Rome.

The Italian islands - Sicily, Sardinia and Capri - are best suited for a purely beach holiday. Hotel prices there are higher than for accommodation on the mainland, but the sea will be warmer. Sardinia and the island of Capri are not very popular among Russian tourists - these are very small islands with beautiful beaches, but there is nowhere to go outside the hotel. Sicily will be more interesting in terms of excursion programs and will be in no way inferior in the comfort of a beach holiday.

Montenegro

The swimming season in Montenegro begins at the end of May and lasts until October. The sea water in spring and autumn is quite cool - around 19-20°C. However, by mid-summer the water temperature will be more pleasant, around 24-25°C. In Montenegro it is usually windy and not too hot, so in the evening the difference in water and air temperatures is practically not felt.

Montenegro is comparatively different low prices. Many Russian tourists choose it for their vacation. Large all-inclusive hotels with swimming pools and spas are not very common there, but in Montenegro you can rent apartments in residential areas and feel like a local. In addition, in addition to beaches, Montenegro has many interesting and beautiful places, where you can go on excursions.

Türkiye

Türkiye is a favorite destination for Russian tourists. It has everything you need for a good beach holiday - comfortable hotels, clean warm sea and sandy beaches. Türkiye is an excellent choice for a family holiday with children. In addition, the prices for trips there are very affordable.

Türkiye is washed by four seas at once - the Mediterranean, Black, Aegean and Marmara:

• The Mediterranean Sea will be the warmest and will warm up the fastest.
• The water will also be quite warm in the Aegean Sea.
• Black and Sea of ​​Marmara are considered colder, but everything will depend on the specific beach: the water of the Black Sea in a shallow bay will obviously be warmer than the water Mediterranean Sea on the open beach.

Beach season in Turkey starts from mid-June and continues until the end of September. The peak of tourist activity occurs in August - the water at this time is the warmest. However, in August the air temperature can reach 40°C, and given the high humidity, this temperature is not always pleasant for vacationers.

However, airfare and hotel prices are at their highest in August. In July and September, trips are cheaper because the water is already cooler. However, most hotels in Turkey have one or more swimming pools, so the cool sea should not be a big problem.

Beach season at exotic Latin American resorts

Domestic and European shores have long been explored by our tourists. More exotic destinations are also beginning to gain popularity - Africa, Asia and Latin America. Where is the beach season? comes first? In many countries beach season is open a long time ago. If you're looking for a new place to stay, you might want to consider one of these options.

In Latin America beach season by month not scheduled - the weather here is almost always conducive to sunbathing. However, Latin America has not yet been well explored by Russian tourists. The reason for this is the long and expensive flight. However, exotic lovers are not stopped even transatlantic flights: to countries Latin America they go to see the ocean, feel local flavor and take a swim in the crystal clear blue water.

Most popular destinations in a swimming pool Caribbean Sea — Dominican Republic, Cuba and the Bahamas.

• The beach season in the Dominican Republic lasts all year round - the water temperature may suddenly become colder for a short time, depending on the current, but it does not depend on the season. Tourists should note that in August, September and October the weather at this resort will be a little cloudy with frequent heavy rains. If your goal is a beach holiday, then it is better to refrain from traveling at this time. Most often, Russians and Europeans come here in the winter months, when our weather is not conducive to swimming.

• Beach season in Cuba doesn't stop. However, it is recommended to visit Cuba in winter and spring: in the summer months it is very hot here and Russian tourists, unaccustomed to such temperatures, will not be too comfortable. In addition, in the summer there are strong waves on the coast and because of them, open beaches Often you can't swim. In winter, the Caribbean Sea is calm, and the air temperature is almost equal to the water temperature.
• On Bahamas The water temperature in winter reaches 24°C, and in summer it reaches 27-28°C. The air temperature here is comfortable all year round. However, summer tourists are put off by the frequent tropical storms that hit the Bahamas from May to November. Thus, the optimal time to travel to the Bahamas is winter and early spring.

Tunisia: opening of the beach season

Tunisia is a popular resort among Russian tourists. You can enjoy it there good service, sunny weather and warm clear sea with exotic fish swimming right to the shore.

Beach season in Tunisia opens at the beginning of spring - by this time you can already sunbathe, although the water temperature will not be conducive to swimming. In spring it will be possible to swim in outdoor pools, which will warm up from the hot sun. By the end of May, the water in the sea warms up to 20-22°C, and by mid-summer you simply won’t want to leave the water. The beach season ends at the beginning of October.

It makes sense to go to Tunisia only during the beach season. Fans of an extensive excursion program will have practically nothing to see there. But it's good and inexpensive resort for a beach holiday. All-inclusive hotels with entertainment program for children and adults, wide beaches and clear warm water make Tunisia great place for a budget family vacation.

Beach season at exotic Asian resorts

Asian countries are another possible destination for a beach holiday. Most often, tourists choose United United Arab Emirates, Maldives, Vietnam or Thailand.

• Located almost at the equator Maldives - beach season here lasts all twelve months. In principle, there is no winter there. Such constancy is inherent not only in air temperature, but also in water temperature - in the Maldives you will be comfortable swimming in both winter and summer. The only problem that vacationers in the Maldives may encounter is storms. During them, due to strong waves, swimming is almost impossible. However, there are storms in the Maldives only in December and June, and the rest of the time the sea is generally calm.
• Beach season in Thailand is not limited by anything - you will be absolutely comfortable at any time of the year. The water and air temperatures here remain constant, and storms are extremely rare. Most tourists see the point in coming here in winter, when nearby resorts are already closed. Thus, from December to April the influx of vacationers is especially large. If you can't go on vacation in the summer, in Thailand you can bask in the sun even on New Year's Eve.
• The optimal time for a holiday in the United Arab Emirates is spring and autumn. At this time, the water warms up to 22°C, and the air temperature is not yet too high - it is comfortable to be outside even at noon. Winter is not best time for traveling to the UAE, since there can be strong winds here, and the water and air temperatures are not very conducive to a beach holiday. In summer, the air temperature often rises above 40°C, which makes it impossible to stay outdoors for a long time.

• It is impossible to say for sure when beach season in Vietnam. The temperature on the southern and northern coasts here differs significantly. On South coast worth visiting in winter. The rainy season begins here in the spring and continues until November. There is no swimming on the northern coast in winter - the best time to go is the beginning of spring or the end. However, when visiting the north in spring and autumn, be prepared for periodic rains.

Now travel agencies offer trips to any country in the world for a beach holiday: you can find the ideal destination for every taste and every budget. However, when planning your trip, it is worth taking into account the weather conditions in the destination country. Many exotic resorts are too hot in summer, while some European beaches have cool water all year round.
