SeasonMap

SeasonMap helps pick a destination based on the climate you would enjoy in the month you can go. You pick the month you can travel and a trip style, such as city walking, and it ranks 1,413 destinations by climate comfort on an interactive map, listing what is in season, what is on and which places to skip.

Each place shows a season score, events such as autumn color, warm sea or trail season, crowds, hazards like monsoon, hurricane, typhoon or smoke season, cost, and a twelve-month strip showing when to go instead. Climate data comes from Open-Meteo (ERA5 reanalysis) with air quality from CAMS, and the scores are described as planning estimates rather than a forecast.

The whole map is open for the first five minutes without an account. After that, the free tier shows the top three places in each group, while paid access gives everything, saved places, comparisons and alerts. Options are a $7 Trip Pass for 30 days, a membership at $29 per year at founding prices and a lifetime option at $69, with founding prices applying until March 31, 2027 or for the first thousand members.
