CONNECTICUT
Best Time to Go & Visit & Travel to Connecticut New Haven, Yale, Stonington, Mystic Seaport and Hartford, NE

Connecticut is, largely, a northern extension of New York. But its south eastern coast has interesting historic places, and the city of New Haven, with its big attraction pole, the Yale University, is justifiably a major tourist attraction.

Connecticut coastal zone west Stonington include many historic small whaling villages and ports. Mystic Seaport - a restored nineteenth century village - and the fishing village of Stoning Borough are good examples of this part of Connecticut.

New Haven and the Yale University

BEST TIME TO VISIT CONNECTICUT

Connecticut weather - as the weather of New York and the weather of New England in general - is very changeable, with moderate precipitation all over the year, and brief heat waves in summer and very cool weather in winter or even in the early spring.

Snow is concentrated in the winter months.

Late-spring - May, June – or late-summer and early-fall – September, October are excellent months for visiting Connecticut.

Fall's foliage spectacle causes many thousands of weekenders to demand New England. So, avoid Autumn's weekends, if you want to avoid crowds.

WHEN NOT TO GO TO CONNECTICUT

Humidity and high temperatures may turn some days of July and August uncomfortable. Avoid also the winter months, when temperatures may attain very low levels.
