When to go aux États-Unis ?

The weather on the West Coast of the United States varies from region to region. To the north, the Cascade Mountain Range divides Washington and Oregon into two states: dry in the east and humid in the west. In California, the climate is mild almost year-round, although cold in the winter in the mountainous regions and warm in the south year-round. In the interior plains, the climate is continental. Temperatures on the West Coast of the United States vary greatly.

If there is one date to remember for your stay in the United States, it is the 4th of July, Independence Day and the country's national holiday which commemorates the 4th of July 1776, the day of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, with an outpouring of American flags, fireworks, parades, barbecues, picnics, baseball games, etc. A good way to immerse yourself in the American way of life! Please note that July and August are also school vacations in the United States. Prices and lineups go up. In addition, some regions become unbearable at this time of year with temperatures exceeding 40°C. Choose the high altitude regions of Arizona, the highlands of New Mexico or the coastal areas of western California, which are still pleasant even in the middle of summer. In summer, avoid Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma, which are often very humid. If you want to do Route 66, a great classic of the destination, avoid the high passes in winter. You should also know that in winter in Chicago, a freezing wind blows between the skyscrapers, while Missouri and Kansas show -40°C and even in the Arizona desert. April and May are good compromises for all latitudes. But for New York, it is happiness all year round, even when the snow covers Central Park!
