Common questions
How is the weather score calculated?
The weather score reflects a combination of temperature comfort, rainfall and typical conditions for outdoor activities and sightseeing during that month, scored from 1 to 5 where 5 represents the most pleasant conditions for general travel.
Why do prices spike so much in certain months?
Prices closely track school holiday periods in major source markets, along with local climate patterns. Destinations with a narrow window of good weather see extreme price spikes during that period, while destinations with reliable weather year-round show more stable pricing.
Should I always travel in the cheapest month?
Not necessarily. The cheapest months often coincide with genuinely worse weather or closed attractions in some destinations. The best value usually comes from shoulder season months that balance reasonable prices with still-good conditions, rather than the absolute cheapest month which may involve real compromises.
