Hello everyone.
I'm thinking about a trip I will make at any time within the next five years to the United States during summer holidays, so I need some tips about that.
So, as I dislike muggy, hot weather conditions so much, I'm looking for the coldest small cities with lower averages for the month of July.
I'm not interested to visit small, boring towns with less than 5.000 inhabitants, nor cities bigger than 500.000 inhabitants ones either because big cities are a nightmare with lot of tourists, traffic jams, etc.
Thus, I really want to travel around the whole country, I mean northeast, northwest, southwest and southeast.
So, can you help me to find one city for every four quadrant of United States which fit with all the earlier toughts I've told before?
Here is a map of mainland United States divided in four areas, excluding Alaska which I won't visit that time. Thanks in advance!
You should be a little more specific as to what "hot" means to you. For me, most of the U.S. is hot and/or muggy in July. There are a few places you could visit that are already mentioned here (NW coast, western mountainous areas at high enough elevation), but that won't be a good sampling of the U.S.
If you could work it out, it would be much better to visit in late September and early October. Weather is generally pleasant throughout much of the country. The leaves are changing colors at that time of year which can be quite scenic, and the usual tourist areas will be generally less crowded.
If the OP is actually looking only for chilly summer weather, he would be better served in forgetting about the U.S. and visiting Svalbard.
