We plan our departures to coincide with the best time of year for tours. Climate information will be detailed in each itinerary.

Briefly, the weather in Cyprus is recognised as the best in the Mediterranean area. Paphos in particular, enjoys 50 weeks per year of beautiful warm or hot weather. If you enjoy very hot temperatures then July and August is the time for you.

The weather in Montana is as varied as its landscape. Summer days are often pleasant and dry and evenings are crisp and cool. Late June and early July are when the wildflowers really explode. The average temp is 70's to low 80's during the day, cooling at to 40-50's at night. Mid July to late August are probably the most popular time, so that space fills quickly. This is the warmest time, 75-85 during the day, cooling to 40-50's at night. August is always a nice month for long clear days.

Southern Africa, Australia and Argentina are in the Southern hemisphere, so seasons are opposite - and there are good times to go, in each area, all year round. Winters are a wonderful time - cool rather than cold, and of course spring and fall are perfect. Summers in most places are less hot than you might imagine, so let's talk to discuss options. East Africa is on the equator, where weather issues revolve around a couple months of rainy season.

Costa Rica has two seasons, dry and rainy. The dry seasons runs from late November to late April and represents the high tourist season. In many parts of the country, especially along the Caribbean coast, you can expect a fair amount of rain year-round (it is the rainforest after all). Most days, however, start out sunny with just a few hours of rainfall in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures vary primarily with elevations, not with seasons.

In the tourist areas of Turkey the season usually runs from May until October and this is the most popular time to take a holiday. It is possible to visit all year round however if you wish to do so. In the winter months the climate is much warmer than Europe but it may rain heavily and frequently.

The weather is unpredictable most of the year, so you should be prepared for rain (particularly in Galicia), day-time heat and cold nights, especially in the Pyrenees, and the high passes in Galicia. See above "What about going in winter?" for advice on crossing the mountains in winter weather.

According to Promperú, the driest months are from May to September, the winter months in the Southern hemisphere. Temperatures can fall below freezing above 4500m, and it may be windy from August onwards. During the spring, September to December, there are likely to be early afternoon showers (sometimes accompanied by electrical storms) of short duration, and it may be cloudy and overcast. Nights during this season are clear (which means cold at high altitude).

November to March - warmest weather but this is the busy summer season when all facilities are often heavily booked especially in the holiday resorts. All facilities are operating and there is plenty of entertainment. April/May - Autumn in New Zealand. Temperatures are a little lower but still generally nice weather. There are less people travelling at this time so facilities can be less crowded and the autumn colours, often clear skies and settled weather make this a popular time to travel.

Always keep in mind when you go fishing that Fishing is called fishing - not catching - and of course it is always hard to predict nature. Every day is different and nobody can do anything about the weather. With that in the back of your mind we can give you the following guidelines. Halibut: year-round, best May-September fishing for Halibut out of Homer. The Limit is 2 Halibut per person per day. King Salmon: There are 2 runs of Kings. From mid May thru mid August the Kings are in the rivers.

Almost ideal year-round, the climate is a moderate 72 degrees in the highlands, while the lowlands and coastal areas range from the low 70's to the high 90's. Evenings in San Jose are free of humid heat, and beaches are cooled by ocean breezes. Rainy season occurs from the end of May to November, with the heaviest rainfall in October.

The most popular times for weather in Italy are generally (1) from the end of March through June and (2) from September through the middle of November. In March and November, the weather can swing through a broad range of temperatures, cooler but usually not wintry. July and August will certainly be hot and humid, with temperatures in the 90's. December through February, temperatures range from the 30's to the 50's but are typically in the 40's.

Most visitors agree the best time is during the winter months when there is less chance of tropical rains and good reason to escape the weather at home. However, you certainly will not be alone should you choose to come during the spring or summer when many families visit the area. You take more chance on the weather when you come in the fall, due to the risk of hurricane and higher rainfall averages. However, having said that, I have friends come to visit every October.

Belize attracts visitors all year round but the peak season is from November to May. However great deals can be had if you travel from May onwards and most resorts offer Room Rates at a 20% discount.

This depends of current weather. It's a mountain region so there may be snow storm even in July-August. Normally you can wear T-short or even a swim suite in the valley on a sunny day but a jacket may be necessary at night. And of course you need enough warm clothes for high altitude hikes.

It seems unlikely there will be snow, but this is the upper midwest of the United States, and we can't totally rule it out. More likely, it will be between 40F (4C) and 80F (26C), and since it's spring, it will probably rain.
