BEST TIME TO VISIT NEW HAMPSHIRE

Coastal and South New Hampshire
Coastal and south New Hampshire weather is very similar to that of New York or New Jersey: very changeable, with moderate precipitation all over the year, and brief heat waves in summer and very cool days in winter or even in the early spring.

In these regions - where snow is concentrated in the winter months - late-spring and late-summer and early-fall are the best months for visits.

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

White Mountains region

The weather conditions are significantly different in the White Mountains regions. In the higher sites of the White Mountains ,weather is extremely severe and snow very intense in winter and in early spring or late autumn. Besides, winds may be particularly strong.

You should check previously the weather conditions, before attempting to visit the top of places as Mount Washington.


WHEN NOT TO GO TO NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the case of the White Mountains regions, if you aren't a skier or a hiker and an adept of hard outdoors sports, you should avoid winter or even November and early spring.

In other New Hampshire regions humidity and high temperatures may turn some days of July and August uncomfortable, and you may want to avoid them.

Avoid also the winter months, when temperatures may attain very low levels.

See the Concord Weather Table for details about the weather in New Hampshire.
