June
Armenia
June to October are the best months for visiting Georgia. It can get fairly hot in Yerevan (especially in July and August when temperatures can pass 30 degrees Celsius), although the mountain areas will be relatively cooler, with Spring-like conditions for most of the time (although temperatures can drop below zero at the altitudes of more than 3,000 metres even during this period).
Bhutan
The summer in Bhutan lasts from June to August. This more or less coincides with the rainy season, which although not as severe in the highlands (where you are more likely to visit) as in the tropical south of the country, can lead to roads being sometimes blocked due to landslides. June is therefore not the ideal time to visit Bhutan. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September and November) are better.
Botswana
June, July and August are the winter months, marked by cloudless days and mild temperatures, with average temperatures ranging from 7-27 degrees Celsius. The landscapes outside the Okavango Delta begin their drying process, gradually fading from lush green to dry khaki colours. In the Delta, the floodwaters from Angola start to fill the countless lagoons and streams. Gameviewing is at its best.
Burma (Myanmar)
We do not recommend visiting Burma from April to September, when the temperatures are very high (reaching up towards 40 degrees Celsius in April); the rainy season begins in May and lasts throughout the summer months.
Cambodia
A tropical country, Cambodia is warm all year round. June to September is the rainy season, although the rain usually falls in short heavy showers in the afternoon rather than all day. Humidity is high. We do not recommend travelling to the northeastern Rattanakiri region during these months as the roads are often unpassable.
China
Spring and Autumn are the best months to visit China in terms of the weather. Days should be warm and sunny with only occasional rain. This is, however, the peak season and some of the more popular tourist sites (the Great Wall or the Terracotta Warriors, for example) can be very crowded.
Egypt
Egypt is at its hottest from May to August. With the relative lack of humidity, however, and sightseeing arranged for the early morning and late afternoon, it can still be very enjoyable, especially as the sites are less crowded. Hotel prices are lower at this time of the year.
Georgia
June to September are the best months for visiting Georgia. It can get fairly hot in Tbilisi (especially in July where temperatures can pass 30 degrees Celsius), although the mountain areas will be relatively cooler, with Spring-like conditions for most of the time (although temperatures can drop below zero at the altitudes of more than 3,000 metres even during this period).
Iceland
June is a good time to visit Iceland, just before the very busy peak months of July and August. Outside Reykjavík most of the hotels and guesthouses have now opened and the daylight hours are long - the sun never really sets during the second half of the month.
India
North: June is the hottest time of the year, with temperatures regularly passing 40 degrees Celsius, so most people would prefer to travel at another time - best months are October to March. Himalayas - a lovely time to head for the hills, with clear and warm conditions.
South: June is very hot (up to 45 degrees Celsius), so we do not recommend travel at this time of the year.
Iran
Summer is hot in Iran, with temperatures sometimes reaching as high as 38 degrees Celsius. The lack of humidity, however, makes the heat tolerable and many passengers choose to travel at this time of the year. For those who prefer milder temperatures, April/May and September/October are better times for travelling in Iran.
Jordan
June is a good time of the year to visit Jordan and the Holy Land. Days should be hot and sunny, but the lack of humidity makes the heat more bearable.
Kenya
Kenya straddles the Equator and is sunny and hot for most of the year. From late March, through April and May, and into June, Kenya experiences the 'Long Rains'. Although it doesn't rain incessantly, it isn't the best time to visit Kenya and we do not recommend that you travel during this period.
Lebanon
Lebanon has a Mediterranean climate, with variations because of the mountainous interior. From May to August it is hot and humid on the coast, with little or no rain and temperatures reaching 38 Celsius (although it is much cooler at night). In the mountains it is generally fresh and sunny during the day.
Morocco
The hot summer months (June, July and August) are good for visiting the north and the mountain areas, but in the far south, particularly beyond the Atlas Mountains on the edge of the Sahara, the heat can be intense.
Namibia
Namibia is located in the tropics and is an all-year-round destination which is mostly rain-free. From June to September (winter) it is pleasantly warm during the day, but noticeably cooler at night. This is a great time for wildlife viewing in Etosha as the longer grass has been grazed, making it much easier to spot the animals on the open plains.
Nepal
June to August is the period of the summer monsoon. Although it doesn't rain all the time, visibility is poor because of the cloud cover, so there are no spectacular mountain views to be had. On the plus side, prices are much lower than during the rest of the year, and it's one of the best times for visiting neighbouring Tibet using Kathmandu as the gateway.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's temperature varies little throughout the year, with maximum day-time temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius, with the minimum usually above 20 degrees. It is generally slightly cooler in the hills. From May to August there is a summer rainy season but seldom are the rains monsoon-style for the whole day.
Syria
Summer is hot in Syria with temperatures in the daytime reaching as high as 40 degrees Celsius. June is therefore only for travellers who can put up with the extreme heat.
Tanzania
Generally speaking the highlands (where the gameviewing takes place) enjoy a temperate climate, whilst the coast is hot and humid year round. By early June the heavy Spring rains should have ended, so this is a good time to visit.
Thailand
June is hot and humid in most of Thailand, with frequent rain.
Tibet
June is a good time to visit Tibet, with warm daytime temperatures (around 15 degrees Celsius) and dry conditions.
Uzbekistan
May, June and September are the best months to go to Uzbekistan. Days should be sunny, dry and warm.
Vietnam
There is no ideal time to visit Vietnam as there are distinct regional variations between the Northern, Central and Southern regions. June is one of the hottest times of the year, with rain always a possibility in the south of the country.
Zambia
The dry season in Zambia runs from May to November. This is the best time to visit, with mainly clear blue skies and hardly any rain. It's naturally therefore the most popular time to visit (especially August to October) so prices are higher and accommodation should be booked well in advance.
