Methodology: verdicts weight each destination's best months, rainy season, storm risk, rain days, and temperatures from our climate dataset (Open-Meteo Historical Weather API (2019-2023 averages), updated 2026-04-15); the raw data is shown in the table. Ideal and Good mean reliably workable conditions; Skip means the data argues against that month.
