Weather Resources  

For your weather information, we recommend the following websites listed below. We will add more resources later but these ones should cover most regions around the world. 

Remember that when planning for your trip, you should consider seasonal weather patterns as they may have an impact on your vacation. For example, hurricanes occur between July and October and could ruin your Caribbean vacation. Likewise, Asia is also known to have typhoons associated with strong winds and heavy rain during late summer, early fall. Winter snow storms will affect all means of transportation for the northern countries. If you are flying, your flight may be delayed for several hours or simply cancelled for the day. When you travel often, it may not be so bad, but for those who travel rarely or once every few years, it may mean the difference between a dream vacation and not a very good one.
