Best time to visit the United States of America

Spring (March to May, shoulder season) brings mild weather in many regions, with average temperatures around 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F), and is a comfortable time for city sightseeing and coastal drives. Summer (June to August, peak season) is warmer, often between 20°C and 30°C (68°F to 86°F) or higher inland, ideal for beaches, national parks, and festivals, but popular attractions are busier. Autumn (September to November, shoulder season) offers pleasant temperatures of roughly 8°C to 22°C (46°F to 72°F), colourful foliage in northern states, and generally fewer crowds. Winter (December to February, low season in many areas) can be cold, especially in the north-east and interior, from -5°C to 7°C (23°F to 45°F), though it is a draw for ski resorts and festive city breaks.
