If you want to know when the best time to visit everywhere from Australia to Vanuatu, this one’s for you!
Now, when I say best time I mean mildest, nicest weather, in most places summer/shoulder season (unless it’s the Middle East or China).
Please note though that these are likely also peak seasons and could well have school holidays which you might want to avoid, so use this post as a place to start and you’ll find loads more content on here delving into any of these amazing countries by clicking on each name.

I visited Rarotonga once and it rained five days out of seven (which wouldn’t have bothered the kid above I saw in Miami who was scooped up in a towel and carried away)!
So this post is about the best times to visit according to temperature (not too hot or too cold), humidity and rain – or the lack of it, avoiding rainy season, is my aim. It’s meant to be a one-stop post to help you pick the perfect time to go.
Here goes:
Best time to visit Australia. This is a continent AND a country. It is huge – as big as the United States, so I’ll break it into states: Queensland and West Australia – April to September (winter), NSW, Victoria, southern West Australia, Tasmania, South Australia – October to March (over summer)
Best time to visit Argentina – December to May (unless you want to ski, then go June to August)
Best time to visit Bali – April to November

Best time to visit China (Shanghai) – March to May, September, October. It gets very hot in summer and avoid national holidays as everything will be booked out and incredibly crowded.
