Methodology

This guide uses a dedicated April scoring model instead of a pure climate sort. April weather still carries the most weight, using our month-specific climate comfort score built from temperature, sunshine, and rainfall. We then add strong support from culture and food, plus lighter travel-readiness weight from safety and development. Countries whose curated destination brief explicitly lists April as a best month receive a small seasonal bonus. Countries with a Level 3+ US State Department travel advisory are excluded. Learn more about our methodology on the About page.
