DEEP OFF-SEASON IN AUGUST

August is the deep off-season for many parts of the world, primarily due to extreme heat and heavy monsoon rains in the Northern Hemisphere’s tropical and subtropical regions, and deep winter conditions in parts of the Southern Hemisphere.

Main Regions for Deep Off-Season:

Indian Subcontinent & Southeast Asia: Expect peak monsoon with torrential rain, high humidity, and oppressive heat. Travel can be significantly disrupted.

Africa: Many areas, particularly West and Central Africa, experience intense heat, high humidity, and heavy rains, making travel uncomfortable.

Americas: Central America and the Caribbean are in their peak rainy and hurricane season, bringing high heat, humidity, and a risk of tropical storms. Northern South America also faces heavy rains.

Southern Hemisphere: Southern Patagonia and Antarctica are in deep winter with extreme cold and limited access. Southern Australia and New Zealand’s South Island also experience colder, wetter winter conditions.
