Bonjour, Hola ! Dites-moi...c'est la saison des ouragans. On me dit que des endroits comme Cayo-Santa Maria ou Cayo Largo à cette période est plus risqué que dans des endroits proche des terres. Bref, je suis du type impressionnable mais je me demande si je devrais vraiment m'en inquiéter si je prévois aller à Cuba autour du 20 septembre. 😎
Comme nous partons pour le tryp cayo coco vendredi prochain je visite de façon régulière un site internet que je viens juste de trouver et qui répond à bien des questions.

Il y a présentement une dépression tropicale dans l'atlantique nord, la no 6. Si elle se change en ouragan ce sera l'ouragan Florence. J'ai vue que vendredi prochain elle devrait être au nord de puerto rico.
J'ai lu plusieur commentaires au sujet des ouragans sur ce forum et nous partons en toute quiétude car selon ce que vous dites, les cubains semblent fin prèts à s'occuper de nous en cas de sinistre. J, ai lu que si nous devions être reloger en cas d'ouragan nous serions au Nh krystal qui était notre choix n02!
J'ai compris en lisant les post que bien souvent il y a de l'éxagération des médias en ce qui concerne les ouragans. Je suis certain et garde bonne espoir que nous reviendrons très bronzés!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pour ceux qui connaisse le tryp quel est le meilleur bloc. bien que nous avons un chambre standard y en a-t-il un mieux que les autres, Nous n'avons pas réservé une vue sur mer mais pouvons nous espérer une vue piscine.................
merci Benoit

Voyager ..du pur bonheur!
Salut benoit! Pour ce qui est, d'une chambre vue mer, c'est les bloc 5 et 8... et pour la piscine, 6 et 7. Les chambres sont moins humide au deuxième étage bien sur!😉
Les voyages nous permettent de vivre à 100%
tu vois moi je voyages presque toujours en aout parce que j, ai un fils c, est moins cher l'été et c, est les vacances les plus longue pour lui.
mon premier voyage à cuba l'an passé j, avais beaucoup de crainte sur les ouragans les cyclones etc... mais les cubains passe le touriste en premier lieux !!
si tu est avec un agence de voyage et ils savent ou tu est pas de problème!!
ceux qui se retrouve dans des endroit isoler pas d, agence et en routard ceux plus difficile à trouver donc plus sujet au risque mais les cubains là bas s'en occupe!
part la tête tranquille.
je reviens de la ville d'holguin il y avait ernesto qui s'envenait
l'an passé katerina et je n'est jamais souffert de c'est ouragans ils le savent bien avant et vois à tout. comme je te dis si tu voyage pas d'agent et que tu te promenne partout c'est bien sur que comme touriste du vas être plus à risque et cela sera à toi de t'arrenger pour ta protection mais tu trouvera l'aide des cubains quand même prêt à aider toujours. se que l'on trouve pas toujours dans d'autre région des caraibe.
et je me suis fais dire en passant que holguin est le moins touché . presque jamais par de forte ouragan !! alors profite de tes vacances au max et part la tête tranquille 😛 viva los vacanciones

Moi je suis allée à Cuba au mois d'octobre l'an passé à Cayo Coco et Wilma passait tout près. J'étais hyper méga stressée avant de partir, parce que j'avais peur que ca gâche mes vacances. Finalement, Wilma n'a pas été ressentie jusqu'à Cayo Coco. Cette année, je prévois encore partir à l'automne. C'est le seul temps de l'année où le prix est assez bas pour que j'aille les moyens de voyager. On pense partir en novembre. Mais après avoir vécu tout le stress causé par Wilma, je serai beaucoup moins stressée cette année. Faut savoir en prendre et en laisser sur ce qui est dit. Tout le monde a mon travail me disait de ne pas partir, que c'était dangereux, etc. Si je les avais écouté, je ne serais pas partie.
Moi j'te dis qu'il faut pas t'empêcher de voyager à cause de ca. Si jamais il se produisait un ouragan pendant que t'es là, ben dis-toi au moins que t'en auras vécu un dans ta vie! 😉 C'est moi-même ce que je me dis. Bon voyage!

Bonjour voyageur43 !
J'ai une amie qui est partie à Cuba à Santa Lucia, quelques jours après l'annonce d'Ernesto, là bas ils on subit quelques périodes de vent et pluie sans plus et dans la semaine où elle y était déjà ici on ne parlait presque plus d'Ernesto. Moi ça ne m'énerve pas, je serai à Cuba les 2 dernières semaines de septembre. Je crois qu 'il ne faut plus trop se fier aux périodes d' ouragan sinon on voyageraient plus ( C'est mon idée ) même au Québec il y a des années où on a des température bizarre, j'ai déjà vu les bourgeons sortir en plein mois de janvier.

Hi, it's all in the title but I’ll clarify 😊
We want to do a few safaris, visit villages, the mountains, see tea plantations, etc. But we also want to see turtles. We love snorkeling but aren’t experts—we’re just happy to see colorful fish and coral. We’ve always wanted to see turtles too, so the idea is still to see *something* underwater 😊
Can you tell us which regions to prioritize and which to avoid given the climate at this time of year? Thanks a million!

Hi,
We're leaving on June 19th for an 8-day road trip in South Iceland. I've heard that even in summer, it's cold and the weather can change several times a day. Should we mainly pack winter gear, like a K-Way, fleece, down jacket, beanie, etc.?
Thanks for your tips!

We’d love to visit Georgetown and the beautiful beaches of Langkawi from mid-September to early October, but we’re worried it’ll be a real steam bath 🥵

Hi there,
For those who’ve experienced it, what’s the weather like in Shanghai at the end of December? I’ve heard it’s cold, but coming from France, is the winter milder than in Lyon, for example?
I’m tempted to spend the Christmas holidays in Shanghai and the surrounding areas (Nanjing, Suzhou) with my family—kids are 11 and 2. It’d be a bummer if the little one catches a cold over there.
Generally, is this a good time for simple family visits to the main spots, restaurants in the city, indoor heating, and outdoor walks?

Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Mauritius—anyone have advice on when to go? I’m thinking April, May, or June for my stay. Which month would you recommend for the best beach weather, sunbathing, and exploring the island? Thanks!
Hi,
we’re planning to travel through Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) in February and March 2027.
From a seasonal and weather perspective, at that time of year and with hiking as our main activity, is it better to explore Patagonia from south to north or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I’ve planned a three-week itinerary for this summer, from August 9 to 27, in Sri Lanka: Negombo – 1 night Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle – 4 nights Kandy – 2 nights Ella – 3 nights Tangalle – 6 nights Colombo Airport – 1 night
I know this isn’t the ideal time for the south since the beach conditions aren’t great, but we’ve booked a hotel with a pool and won’t be swimming in the sea. We want to relax after all the travel since we’re bringing our two kids, aged 6 and 8.
I know the east would be better, but (i) I’m struggling to find suitable accommodation, and (ii) it adds a lot of travel time, and my kids can only handle about 3 hours at a stretch.
I looked into Arugam Bay, but it’s a 7-hour trip back to Colombo from there.
I’ve checked every weather site imaginable, but they don’t all agree. Do you think we’ll spend our whole trip in the rain, or is the monsoon in the south mostly limited to the sea, as I’ve read?
I’m worried about ending up in the middle of a natural disaster with my two young kids, given recent events.
Thanks for your advice! S

/hello, coming from China-Beijing - on 07/04 we're thinking of heading to Korea for 3 weeks. First off, we'd like to know what to expect weather-wise
hi
After reading quite a few posts and buying a guidebook, I’m still struggling to finalize my suitcase.
Given that we’ll be visiting both islands during our road trip and suitcases aren’t exactly expandable,
I’ve noted that temperatures can be changeable—but should I pack more winter clothes than summer ones?
Thanks for your help
We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island?
Thanks for your tips
Hi there. On my itinerary from São Luís to Jericoacoara, I’ll be passing through the Lençóis. Is there any point stopping there this time of year? Apparently, the lagoons are dry, but aside from the lagoons, is the surrounding landscape still interesting enough to warrant a 1- or 2-day stop? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
We’ve booked our flight tickets and we’re leaving from October 29th to November 13th for Mauritius.
I just reserved our accommodation in Cap Malheureux.
We’re used to hot and especially very sunny destinations like Oman, Jordan, Uzbekistan...
If you can reassure me about the period—can we expect sunny weather? I’m really dreaming of discovering Le Morne Brabant under beautiful sunshine...
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I need to go to Sri Lanka at the end of January.
I’ve seen that many roads, hotels, and parks were closed after the cyclone, which unfortunately caused a lot of damage.
Does anyone have more information?
Would it be wiser to postpone our trip?
Thanks, Alain.
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan.
But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently.
What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November?
Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?
Thanks in advance for your tips!

Hi everyone,
This year, 2026, I can only get away in April and May. I never travel during these months usually, and from what I know, they aren’t the best for India. But in such a big country, there are always spots that are better than others weather-wise.
Which region would you recommend? Given that I’ve already traveled quite a bit in this country, and in any case, I’ll be discovering places I don’t know yet. No need for a major tourist hotspot or luxury comfort.
I was thinking of Meghalaya???
Up north?
Thanks for your ideas!

Hi everyone,
We’d love to return to India next year for 3 weeks (we visited Rajasthan about fifteen years ago). Unfortunately, we’re tied to traveling in September, and our initial plan was to explore Himachal Pradesh. However, it seems like that might not be the best month for this region.
Could you share your experiences from that time of year in Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, or even the Spiti Valley—in short, anywhere in Himachal Pradesh? Otherwise, which region of India would you recommend for a September trip?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip from mid-January to the end of February but I just can’t make up my mind 😕
I’ve looked into a few different options: Brazil, Cambodia, and Ecuador. The last one really appeals to me, but what’s making me hesitate is the risk of our trip being a bit too rainy (literally ),
We’re more drawn to the Andes, exploring colonial cities, typical villages, markets, and a bit of the coast. We’ve already gotten a taste of this in Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile. Plus, we’d love to do part of it by car since we’re used to driving at our own pace and stopping whenever we feel like it. Anyway, time’s running out, and I need to decide so I can finalize a route and book the tickets!!
Can anyone help me make up my mind or decide to postpone it for later? But for this year, I don’t have any other time slot to travel. Thanks for reading this far! !
Hi there,
I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November. I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.
In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.
Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.
Thanks for your tips!

We’re planning to visit Porto in mid-February for 5 days.
Is the weather still nice?
I’m torn between Porto and Lisbon.
Thanks
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Chile this coming August and would love to head down to Chiloé. We’ve heard that as we go further south at this time of year, the weather gets pretty rough.
What’s the weather like in Chiloé in late August/early September? What activities can we do? And which ones become really tricky because of the weather?
Thanks in advance for your tips!

Hi everyone!
So great to be back on this forum after being away for—I don’t even know what!
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia in July with my 5-year-old son. The thing is, I’m not sure which coast to choose. AI keeps telling me east one minute and west the next. Which spot is least affected by rain during this time?
Thanks a bunch

Hey everyone! 🙂
Just giving you the quick context: A group of friends and I are planning a trip to South Korea (Seoul/Busan) at the end of June/July next year. It falls right in the middle of the monsoon season, but we don’t really have other availability options.😕
I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited the country and these cities during this period—basically, is it not as bad as it sounds, or should we just cancel our tickets (we don’t mind the heat, it’s mostly the rain that scares us).
I know there are plenty of indoor activities, but do you think we’ll still manage to get a few sunny days, or will it be torrential rain for our entire 2-week trip?
The only other country we’ve visited during the rainy season is Brazil (in the northeast) around the same time, and honestly, aside from a few really annoying downpours, we had sunshine most of the time and it was awesome. That said, the climate is totally different, so I’m not sure how relevant the comparison is.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read or reply to this post! 🙂
Hi everyone.
Not sure if guidebooks, agencies, and other tour operators are keeping up by changing their visiting hours and offerings.
Personally, I see a promising opportunity here—jumping on this adaptation to extreme climates before others do, since they’re inevitably coming.
From my own travel experience, I’ve met a few guides so far who are starting to adjust, like in Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, and elsewhere.
They avoid crowds and the hottest hours by starting their tours around 6–7 AM, when it’s cooler.
Yeah, you’ve gotta wake up early, but the payoff is so worth it. 😴
If you’ve got any great tips like this, why not discuss them in this thread and share addresses or websites where the people in charge have realized climate change is real and are adapting? 😊
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
I’m taking a month-long trip to northern Argentina throughout September. Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, and if time allows, La Rioja. I’m unsure about what clothes to pack. What are the temperatures like in September?
Thanks for your great tips!

It seems that in recent years, January and February in Bohol have seen an increase in rainy periods. Have any of you noticed this?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hi there,
I’m thinking of visiting Cap Corse in the second half of February, specifically Rogliano. Renting a house.
I’ve been told, “Oh no, not a good time—it’s the season for strong winds, Mistral, Tramontane, etc.” What do you all think? I’m now hesitating
