DEEP OFF-SEASON IN JUNE

June is the deep off-season for tourism due to intense monsoons and heavy rains in Northern Hemisphere tropics, and deep winter in Southern Hemisphere regions. Despite challenging weather, this period offers the lowest prices and minimal crowds, attracting travelers with niche interests.

Main Regions for Deep Off-Season:

Indian Subcontinent & Southeast Asia (Onset/Strengthening Monsoon / Extreme Heat): Monsoon season brings high humidity, heavy rainfall, and oppressive heat, making travel difficult in areas like India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and parts of Thailand and Malaysia. Singapore and Brunei also experience frequent heavy showers.

African Continent (Extreme Heat / Onset of Rainy Season / Deep Winter for some): West and Equatorial Africa face intense heat, high humidity, and the onset or peak of their rainy seasons, leading to uncomfortable travel and challenging road conditions.

Americas (Onset of Rainy Season / Early Hurricane Season): Central America, the Caribbean, and Northern South America experience the start of their rainy and hurricane seasons, bringing high heat, humidity, and frequent downpours. This means lower prices but also potential travel disruptions.

Southern Hemisphere (Deep Winter): Southern Patagonia and Antarctica are in deep winter with extreme cold, snow, and limited access. Southern Australia and New Zealand’s South Island also enter winter with colder temperatures and more rain, though skiing can be a niche activity.
