Weather of Arabia - Are you looking for an adventure full of adrenaline? Or do you prefer to relax on the beach? Or maybe you want to embrace a new culture!
The month of August is an ideal time for an exciting, exciting trip and adventure, whatever your purpose of travel
Here are some recommendations for the best places to visit in August, to get you started planning your next adventure
Here are three good facts about northeastern Sri Lanka in August: the weather is great, the prices are low, and the beaches are quiet. In contrast to the southwest, which is exposed to rain during this period, the northeastern coast in this month is characterized by blue skies and warm waters that are excellent for surfing, especially in Arugam Bay.
You can still find patches of empty sand in areas like Nilaveli, Upuvili and Pasikuda.
The central regions also dry well in August, making it a good time to visit the rock fortress of Sigiriya
Well, we're not going to lie: August in this gorgeous Mediterranean archipelago is never exactly uneventful. The weather is invitingly hot and sunny, and popular islands such as the party hub Mykonos and romantic Santorini are crowded. However, smaller towns - such as the uninhabited Shinosa and Vedusa and the rocky coastal Iraklia - will be much less crowded.
Plus, there's a way to get away from it all: jump into the clear blue sea
Book an open water swimming holiday to hop between coves, coves and beaches on your own - instead of crowds of tourists, you'll see sea caves, rock arches, towering walls and colorful fish.
Public access in Sweden is an amazing thing. This right written into Swedish law means that everyone has the right to roam freely in the countryside to visit any beach, swim in any lake, fish anywhere off the coast, pitch a tent almost anywhere and roam everywhere.
And in a country with such wonderful wilderness as Sweden, the possibilities are endless and even in August which is the peak of the season, there is enough space for everyone. Plus, it's a great month for fruit-gathering: look out for wild mushrooms as well as trees laden with blueberries, redberries, blackberries, and arctic berries.
So where do you go?
Maybe a wild kayaking trip around the islands of the Stockholm archipelago, a walk along the King Kungsleden trail in remote Swedish Lapland, maybe a berry-gathering excursion in the woods of Skoleskogen National Park.
Ecuador houses the best of South America in one small, convenient place to roam. Here you'll find gorgeous architecture in Quito and Cuenca, Inca remains in Injaberca, indigenous markets in Otavalo, Sachicil and Zumpahua, gorgeous volcanoes (including picture-perfect Cotopaxi) along the "Volcanoes Route" and abundant wildlife in the Amazon, Galapagos Islands and northern cloud forests. .
The high plateaus and rainforests are the driest in August, so it's the perfect time to take in cultural attractions, do sports on volcanoes, and canoe on glaciers. In addition, Ecuador is a great economical place with the potential for great value accommodation.
The Kingdom of Eswatini, which was known as Swaziland until 2018, has the same wild animal beauty you can expect from wild South Africa at the height of the dry season in August. There are 17 protected areas full of predators in this small country, and they include prairies, high fields, and tropical forests.
One of the most particularly exciting activities is walking with the rangers in the Royal Halane National Park. It may be the interaction with the residents here that will make the biggest impression on you. Eswatini is ruled by one of the last absolute rulers in the world, and enjoys a unique and distinguished cultural heritage that has been preserved to this moment, and is shown dazzlingly and magically at the end of August or the beginning of September during the Umhlanga Reed Dance (which may take place this year on September 4, so We advise you to plan your trip then). This gigantic-sized event in Lodzidziene sees up to 40,000 excited girls in bright outfits dance in front of the King and Queen Mother, accompanied by deadpan warriors. It is an incomparable revolution of movement, vocals, colors and noises.
There is no other place where the city and dance are so inextricably linked. Tango is, quite simply, the pulse of Buenos Aires, and the Argentinian capital's passion for both music - as evidenced by the Carlos Gardel songs that still fly out the windows of many homes - and dance never seems to fade. Not only is the cool month of August a great time to visit Buenos Aires: it sees the city itself throw itself into an annual tango festival, with performances and parties by its top performers.
At other times, you can enjoy touring tango performances in the many clubs and theatres, or catch weekly sessions at Piazza Dorego. But to really get in the dancing spirit, join a class at the San Telmo milonga (ballroom) and stay late into the night with expert portenos afterwards, relishing with fine Argentinean red wine.
Singapore is a unique and delicious opportunity all year round. Since it lies practically on the equator, it's always warm here, while the food - from Michelin stars to folklore - is always delicious.
And August, when the local school holidays are over and there is little rain, can be particularly tempting. There's a growing focus on local and sustainable thinking, too, with a resurgence in the popularity of hawker market culture and comfort food favorites (laksa, hokkien mee rice, fried koi teow noodles), and young "hawkerpreneur" chefs adding elegance to the traditional scene and attempts to tackle food waste issues. In fact, Singapore aims for a greener future at every level, with a commitment to double the size of its natural parks and to plant more than 1 million trees by 2030.
The northwest region of the United States is known for its wet and foggy weather. However, your best chance for a break from the drizzle is in August: it's one of the region's hottest and driest months, perfect for enjoying Portland's summer outdoor dining scene. This time of year, it's about exploring through distinct neighborhoods, lounging in patios and yards, wandering among food trucks, and browsing farmers' markets.
In fact, Portland has more coffee roasters and coffee shops per capita than any other city in the US - coffee is taken very seriously here. A visit could include a tour of leading coffee roasters like Steptown, an iced cold brew at Courier, and a cup of coffee at Bison, the only Native American-owned coffee shop in town.
When completed, it will be the Transcaucasia Trail - a gorgeous beast of 3,000 km (1,864 mi), running through the rarely visited mountains of Georgia and Armenia, from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. The project, which began in 2015, aims to protect the nature and culture of the Caucasus by creating a world-class walking trail and developing sustainable tourism initiatives along the way. Trekkers will be able to follow age-old shepherds' paths, visit monasteries and medieval villages, stay in family guesthouses, and enjoy home-cooked dishes.
Hundreds of kilometers have already been marked, including the complete north-south crossing of Armenia, through the peaks of Azdahak and Khostop, lakes Arbi and Sevan, national parks in Dilijan and Arevi, and canyons in Dzoraget and Debed. A section of Upper Svaneti in Georgia is also ready, as the high-altitude passes are not without snow until July.
The rugged and jagged Flinders Mountain Range in South Australia is truly respectable. Formed more than 600 million years ago, it is home to some of the oldest multicellular fossils on Earth - the area's Nelpina Ediacara National Park, designated in 2021, is the richest and most intact fossil site in the world.
Additionally, human activities here date back 49,000 years, with Aboriginal stories seemingly told around every rock and hill.
August is a good time to plan your own trip to Flinders: there is more rain, but it fills the valleys and ponds, attracting wildlife. The animals are also more active during the colder days of winter - hikers may find themselves trotting with yellow-footed rock kangaroos, ostriches, gray kangaroos and members of a flock of wild birds.
The rugged northern section of the 1,200-kilometre (750-mile) Hessen Trail (which begins on the south coast) winds through the region, ending at the Paracelna River, and meandering through Remarkable Mountain, Crocodile Valley and rugged Icara (Wilpina Bound). A real epic hiking country.
