To answer the question “Which places with the most best climate in the world?" First we need to clarify what we mean by “better climate”, because most people would probably give different answers. Some prefer warmer weather, others prefer cooler climates.
In essence, the best one should be the one that is easier to tolerate from the body throughout the year and does not require any serious adaptation to extreme temperatures. The best climate is not too humid or too cold or warm.
Places must be unaffected by extreme weather events such as regular floods, hurricanes, heat waves, snowstorms and others. We must also be completely objective. Places that travel magazines tout as slices of paradise are indeed fabulously beautiful, but very often the climate there is too hot or humid.
We tried to choose places in such a way that their climate was the healthiest. Very often, when it comes to the best climate, everyone thinks first of all about the Caribbean. Yes, the weather there is really wonderful, but the summer half of the year is too rainy and the region often becomes a victim of hurricanes.
During the summer months, Caribbean holidays can be hit hard by rain and tropical storms. In general, the most popular tourist destinations do not always have the best weather conditions. You'll probably notice that most of these places are either extremely densely populated or a popular tourist destination.
And it cannot be otherwise - after all, the weather is of paramount importance. You may also notice that almost all the places that claim to have the most pleasant climate are located near a large body of water (sea or ocean). This is no coincidence. Around large bodies of water the weather is usually the mildest and most pleasant.
1. Canary Islands. They are located near the coast of Africa, the Canary Islands are a Spanish possession. They enjoy probably the best climate you can imagine. It's eternal summer, or rather eternal spring. Typically, places that are located south of the 30th parallel have a very hot tropical climate, but these islands are no exception.
The cold Canary Current cools the islands as ocean temperatures range between 19-25 degrees throughout the year and prevent air temperatures from getting too hot or cold. In summer the daytime temperature is about 26°C, and in winter about 21. The weather is very easily tolerated even by the most pretentious people.
Most places are generally not rainy, so at any time of the year if you go there it is unlikely that rain will ruin your holiday. The exception is the northern part of the island of Tenerife, which experiences quite heavy rainfall, with sometimes rainy days reaching up to 15 per month.
There are no hurricanes because they form in water basins that are too warm, and here there is ocean water with a moderate temperature. Annual temperature amplitudes are quite small, and the islands know neither cold nor heat. And in addition, it’s good to know that the Canary Islands are among the places with the cleanest air and lowest dust levels on the planet.
2. Located near the equator, Kenya's second largest city and neighboring resorts enjoy luxurious weather throughout the year. Here from January to December it is always about 25-30°C. No more, no less.
It's almost always partly cloudy here, which reminds you that you're on the equator and should always be prepared for a little rain.
Light clouds make the weather feel a little cooler - around 24-26°C throughout the year, as we know it's the sun that makes the heat unbearable. In addition, near the equator the weather is usually almost never windy. IN general conditions ideal for tourism and recreation throughout the year.
3. Hawaiian Islands. Hawaii is the sunniest and warmest American state, but without extreme high temperatures in the summer. There is no rainy season, no hurricanes and generally no adverse weather conditions. Dust levels in Hawaii are very low, similar to the Canary Islands.
The location of the islands in the very center contributes mainly to the mild climate. Pacific Ocean. This justifies Hawaii's fame as one of the best tourist destinations. Temperatures here range from 26 to 30°C throughout the year. Precipitation increases slightly in winter, but is generally normal throughout the year.
4. Costa Rica. Similar to Kenya, Costa Rica also has a very pleasant warm subequatorial climate. Temperatures are constant, ranging between 24 and 26°C all year round, making the country extremely popular for people looking for a tropical paradise to buy property in.
The climate is humid, but precipitation is usually short. There are almost rarely days when there is no sun. You will feel comfortable without feeling the weather too warm or cold.
5. Situated near the equator in the Pacific Ocean, the Galapagos Islands enjoy a magnificent equatorial climate. Temperatures range from 21 to 28°C. Usually the weather is relatively dry. The first 6 months of the year are warmer and slightly wetter.
Beautiful climatic conditions are one of the reasons why exceptional wildlife thrives here and vegetable world. The climate of Galapagos is very easily tolerated by tourists, since there are no extreme costs. In addition, there are no hurricanes here, and the water of the Pacific Ocean has very pleasant moderate temperatures.
6. Bermuda. Bermuda is one of the places in the world with the best climate. They are located quite north in the subtropics, but have a mild and not very hot tropical climate. The reason is the warm Gulf Stream, which brings warm waters far to Europe.
Temperatures here range from 21°C in January to 30°C in August. The ocean acts as a natural air conditioner and the temperatures are at a pleasant level.
7. The capital of Mexico has a cool tropical mountain climate. The high altitude above sea level saves the city from the unbearable heat typical of the tropics. Temperatures here range from 21 to a maximum of 27°C with heavy rainfall during the summer months.
The warmest weather is in May and the coldest in December. The mild climate is one of the reasons for the huge population of the Mexican capital.
8. Sao Paulo. The largest Brazilian city is located in the tropics South America. It is located on a high plateau, near the shores of the ocean. Although Rio de Janeiro is at almost the same latitude, São Paulo has a much cooler and milder climate.
Temperatures here range from 22 to 27°C throughout the year. Both Mexico City and Sao Paulo are so large population, to some extent due to its mild climate.
9. Costa del Sol. The most South coast Spain is a popular winter destination for millions of Europeans, as well as people visiting from colder countries around the world.
The Mediterranean coast of Andalusia is the warmest and sunniest place in Europe. Unlike Caribbean, there is a short winter here, but actually 2-3 months from daytime temperatures about 17-18 degrees is easier to bear than 6 months of the rainy season.
The Mediterranean Sea has a strong influence, maintaining pleasant and healthy temperatures throughout the year. Even according to some scientists, the coast itself on the Costa del Sole has a tropical microclimate, the temperatures of which are abnormally high for Europe. Summers are very warm with temperatures around 29°C. The climate is generally quite dry and sunshine is plentiful 12 months a year.
10. San Diego. The southernmost of all the Pacific cities of the United States, San Diego, has an excellent climate, formed under the influence of the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The cold streams that pass near California make summers pleasant without much heat. At the same time, constant ocean temperatures keep winter values relatively high.
Temperatures in the city range from 19 to 25°C, and the weather is sunny and dry throughout the year. The local climate bears striking similarities to that of the southern Spanish province of Andalusia.
The pleasant climate in San Diego is repeatedly mentioned in many Hollywood movies and is the reason that many wealthy Americans live here.

Many people believe that now there are no more places on our planet that can be called the most beautiful. Such a statement could only be made by a person who has no idea that planet Earth is rich in truly beautiful natural places and creations. Moreover, they were created both by Mother Nature and by the activities of people themselves.

Of course, making any ranking of the most beautiful places in the world is quite problematic, since it is impossible to talk about every amazingly beautiful place on the planet. In addition, the very meaning of the word “beauty” is extremely subjective. True, there are amazing corners that are distinguished not only by their picturesque beauty, but also by their worldwide fame. These will be discussed in today's article.
Today, the Grand Canyon is without a doubt a miracle of nature, beautifully explored and studied by scientists. The moment of its supposed formation falls on a period of time more than 100 centuries ago. At that time, it was a plain formed of shale, sand and limestone rock, through which the Colorado River flowed. Under the pressure of natural influence, the plain began to rise, while the river washed away unsolid rocks, forming the outlines of the current miracle of nature.
And today the Colorado, flowing at an intensity of 20 km/h in 24 hours, washes away about 500 thousand tons of mountain layers, giving the water a muddy, red tint. The climatic conditions in the region are not identical. From above the temperature is +150, while from below the soil surface heats up to +400. The color scheme of the Grand Canyon is the most diverse. The palette of colors varies from purple-brown, black to bluish-gray, pale pink.
True, you can only appreciate the beauty of the canyon by being next to it. It should be noted that there is not a single bridge across the gorge. Therefore, anyone wishing to move from North Rim Headquarters to the village located on the southern side of the canyon (the distance between them is no more than 19 km) will be forced to travel over 322 km.
The Australian Great Barrier Reef is one of the most beautiful places on our planet. In addition, it has a place of honor on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The structure of the reef “metropolis” is composed of coral formations that provide the creation of an amazing combination of its inhabitants. The rarest dolphins and whales, green turtles and a large number of different shellfish live here.
The Australian reef is the largest coral organism. It is located in the northeastern region of the coast of Australia and stretches along the length of the continental shelf for 2.3 thousand km. The width in the northern part is 2 km, while in the southern part it is about 150 km. Australia is proud of this famous and very beautiful place, attracting huge number tourists from every corner of the planet.
The Great Barrier Reef is home to billions of tiny microorganisms called polyps. Moreover, the result of their vital activity is noticeable even from space. This coral ecosystem is represented by 2.9 thousand isolated reef formations and 900 islets. The area of this work of art is 348,698 km².
The settlement rightfully belongs to the best corner of the earth and at the same time the most beautiful city. Cape Town is surrounded by mountain ranges, while natural beauty can amaze the most unimpressive imagination. At the end of the day, the light show is further evidence that Cape Town really is one of the most amazing places on earth.
In the city center you can observe the accumulation of traditions of the English colonies. It is filled with mansions made in the Old Dutch style and buildings of the Victorian era. But Table Mountain is more popular among tourists. This miracle of nature has a flat top located at an altitude of 1 km. It is the biggest attraction in Cape Town and a completely free training ground for rock climbers.
Of course, we cannot ignore the masterpiece Taj Mahal and include it in the Top 10 most amazing corners of the planet. The mausoleum was built over 20 years in Agra. The structure is quite symbolic and imbued with the most beautiful feeling - after all, white marble slabs, considered an emblem of love, were used for its construction.
The Taj Mahal was built according to the standard Persian style and is a complex of magnificent, rich buildings made of white marble. The main place is given directly to the mausoleum, located in the center of the site.
It is made in a cubic shape with cut corners, and is crowned with a giant dome. The Taj Mahal is built on a square base, with tall minarets on 4 corners. Inside, this miracle has a significant number of halls and rooms, which are decorated with mosaics, paintings of ornate ornaments and subtle patterns.
Another beautiful place, worthy of mention, is located in Canada. Moreover, the landmark was formed only through the efforts of the natural elements themselves. This miracle is called the Rokis Mountains. In their area there are 6 national parks, where there are monuments included in the UNESCO list. The mountain range includes amazing caves, canyon formations, waterfalls and lakes of amazing beauty.
The Rockies Mountains are part of the Pacific Cordillera. The highest elevation of the ridge is Mount Robson, because... its height is 3954 m, while the lowest point is Mount Liard with a height of 305 m. length mountain range equals 603 km with a length from north to south of Canada. Index total area the ridge is equal to 93409 m2.
Machu Picchu is one of the most striking structures of the ancient American peoples, a stunning archaeological ruin located in what is now Peru. Machu Picchu, or otherwise known as the “Lost City,” is on the UNESCO list, and in 2007 received the status of a New Wonder of the World. Opening time " Lost City" occurred in 1911 and was accomplished by Hiram Bingham from Yale University.
But the name of the city is hidden in ancient times to this day. Machu Picchu is Mountain peak, located near this miracle. Only a select few could enter the fortress. Priests, high nobility, servants and artisans lived here. Basically, the place served as an abode for mamakunas - selected virgins, whose whole life was devoted to serving the Sun deity.
“The Lost City” consists of sectors of dungeons, cemeteries, temples and a residential area. In total the city has about two hundred buildings. In the center of the city rises the Temple of the Sun - Intihuatan. Moreover, this sacred place of the highest deity of the Incas has been preserved to this day in a single copy.
A list of the most beautiful and amazing places on earth would be incomplete without mentioning the Valley of the Pyramids at Giza. We were able to get acquainted with the greatest buildings from the school history curriculum. However, the secret of building the pyramids is still unknown today. The scientific community is increasingly discovering truths that indicate the impossibility of erecting these structures only with human hands.
Now these pyramids are among the most amazing and important architectural monument ancient Egyptian people. It’s not for nothing that they are on the list of “New Seven Wonders of the World”. The ancient complex is represented by three of the most large pyramids– The Pyramid of Cheops, which is also a surviving miracle from the list of “Seven Wonders of the World.”
The complex is also represented by the pyramids of Khafre and Minkaura and the pyramids of the queens, the Great Sphinx and the valley. The three main pyramids were built by the ancient people of Egypt to bury the pharaohs. They are an impressive sight, since the pharaohs were distinguished by their love of grandeur and luxury.
Today Jordan has its main attraction - Petra, which millions of tourists from all over the world come to see. The architects who built the city unimaginably hollowed out caves in the rock, giving the dead stone the appearance of majestic temples and tombs. But in those days, there were no improved tools, while the technological level did not reach 50% of the modern one.
But people, with the help of their bare hands, were able to create real masterpieces that have survived centuries. According to legend, this was done by the Nabateans, who were descendants of Shem, the world-famous son of Noah. In the 3rd century BC. They formed the state of Nabatean. The most important caravan routes for the economic development of that time passed through its territory.
For this reason, the Nabatean state was an attractive "piece of the pie" for neighboring kingdoms, which led to regular attacks. However, the Nabateans not only repulsed all the attacks of the invaders, but also managed to subjugate part of Syria, maintaining independence even during the expansion of the strong Roman Empire. Petra was the former capital of an ancient disappeared state.
Another truly amazing point on our planet is the Great Chinese Wall, which is not only an incredible monument of Ancient China, but also its symbol. No wonder it is called the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” At the same time, this historical monument- the longest defensive structure, fraught with a large number of mysteries even today. Moreover, the structure is the subject of fierce debate among the scientific community.
According to some data, the length of the wall is 4 thousand km, while according to others it is 6 thousand km. The straight line has a length of 2450 km. True, it should be remembered that the wall is not a straight structure - it sometimes turns and sometimes bends. The average height of the wall is 6-7 m, with some places 10 m high. Its width is 6 m, i.e. 5 people can walk along the wall in one row, or even a small car can drive.
Amazing, with amazing beautiful scenery Argentina annually attracts crowds of travelers and tourists from every corner of planet Earth. The country is very picturesque, while its pristine nature is protected by 29 National Parks.
And in the midst of this splendor, like a pearl of the first importance, grows National Park"Iguazu." Natural miracle is represented by 3 protected areas - “Talampaya” together with “Ischigualasto” in Cugno, “Los Glaciares” in the south in Patagonia and “Iguazu”, which are on the UNESCO heritage list.
Without a doubt, this is a global treasure. "Iguazu" is surrounded by subtropical rainforest and is formed in the northern part of Misiones, a province of Argentina.
