Data: NASA POWER (Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources) — 25-year climate averages 2001–2025, public domain.
How the best time is worked out
For every country we take the 25-year monthly averages for the capital from NASA POWER and score each month: daytime highs close to 25 °C score best, then little rain, moderate humidity and clear skies. The best months are the highest-scoring ones; beach, ski and festival seasons can of course differ.
