Summers in New England are hot and sunny. Bright blue skies and green forests create a perfect backdrop for cheerful flowers and colourful beach umbrellas. The perfect combination of beach and mountain ensures there’s something for everyone, from lazing on white sand to hiking, biking or rock climbing in the state parks.
New England is famed for its blaze of crimson to gold colours that herald the arrival of fall. From mid-September to November the colours ‘turn’ through the states – try a hot-air balloon ride to see the foliage from the skies.
Blanketed in snow, New England sparkles during the winter months. Winter sports enthusiasts are more than catered for with a choice from skiing, snowboarding, showshoeing, cross-country skiing and more.
Relax in the evening by the fireplace of a cosy inn or lodge. Winter is also a perfect time for a city break – Boston has superb shopping and dining as well as museums and historical sites to explore.

In the summer season, days are sunny and warm, but the night air can sometimes be cooler in northern mountains and coastal regions. The fall months bring the best travelling weather where the air is crisp and cool. The winter season is snowy, with around 35 inches per year in the south of the region, whilst the upper mountains receive over 100 inches annually. Spring is mild but showers can be expected.
