A1- Spring and Fall are perfect times to travel, especially when you can catch a place when it's not too hot and not too cold

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1: Yes, spring and autumn are my favourite times to travel (back in normal times of course!). I avoid going away in summer - too expensive, busy and full of children. I don't mind a winter city break either. #PTtravel
RTWBarefoot
#pttravel A1: also i have a habit of travelling to places which don't have "seasons" as we understand them here; often the best (driest!?) time to visit them is often in our shoulder seasons.

A1 I love shoulder season and I have no kids right now. Less crowds, mild temps and cheaper deals make it a great option. I also get to this point in the year & want/need a break

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel Yes ... a lot of people hold the idea that 'summer' ends at the August Bank Holiday. Summer weather is just a 'nice to have' anyway. As long as it's not raining too much.

@kate_frankie A1 well, we did once do a USA trip especially in October so we could spend Halloween there.

Q2 Do you travel to warmer climates or do you enjoy spring/autumnal weather and why? Do you recommend any countries or regions?

replying to @Stromfieldadvs @Stromfieldadvs @kate_frankie It's at its best at this time of year, with all the autumn colours + mountains have just started to get snowy tops. #PTTravel

@NomadKeith @kate_frankie yes. I was in Whitley Bay once on August Bank Holiday - it was 12ºC and raining.
:D #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. All the time because it's cheaper, less crowded and generally the weather is still pretty good. I pretty much never travel in July or August. #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot #pttravel True: I find the closer to the Equator you get, seasons don't really matter ... except the monsoon season, which is best avoided

@kate_frankie #pttravel A2: everything is temperate.
West Africa, the Balkans, Australia good for Autumn. I believe Central America is good for Spring.

A2 #pttravel I don’t look for warmer weather. It just works out that way. I like mild weather too. I’ve always said the hottest day I’ve ever experienced was in January when I visited Australia.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1: yep I like the shoulder season - cheaper & less people cos not family friendly typically. I really like travelling to Europe in Spring cos they have better warmer weather and Autumn I like to do my long hauls to warmer climes #pttravel

replying to @dipyourtoesin @dipyourtoesin I agree. So many beautiful landscapes to see #PTTravel

A2 #PTTravel It's a mix. I have a slight bias towards places I can just slip on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, but I'll take anything but grey and miserable.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: I don't mind the weather. Japan is brilliant in spring but closer to home I love Sweden and Denmark. I'd say spring is great for most European city breaks too. For autumn, you can't beat Munich - cosy beerhalls and beautiful scenery. #PTtravel

replying to @Stromfieldadvs @Stromfieldadvs Yes, true. Like Australia or anywhere south of the equator. It can be cheap doing long haul in our summer to visit during their shoulder season #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I’m always about that warm weather #travel! Florida feels like summer year round for me. This was swimming the other week in @DiscoverCR_FL #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 I like flying off for a bit of sunshine when it’s colder and darker in the uk. Mini-trips in the south of Europe are good. Or I’ve visited hot places off season so they’re a bit cooler #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Good point. Seasons can be as distinct as accessible or inaccessible (Antarctica for example) or pleasant for travel or completely miserable (monsoons, drought). #PTTravel

A2 Late spring or early autumn is best for travel with less liklihood of encountering late- or early season snowstorms. #PTTravel

replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 @kate_frankie Oh I love snow! We don't get any down here - If we did I may think differently but I would be in heaven with my camera with snow 😁#pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 It does seem to rain less in Spring than the Summer in Ireland. #PTTravel
