MAIN GEOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES
WHAT TO VISIT IN RHODE ISLAND?

Rhode Island is a tiny state - by far the America's smallest state, located in a coastal corner between Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Newport and Providence are its major geographical references.


BEST TIME TO VISIT RHODE ISLAND

Rhode Island weather is very changeable, with moderate precipitation all year long, brief heat waves in the summer and very cool weather in the winter and even in the early spring. Snow is concentrated in the winter months.

Comparatively to New York City, there is slightly more precipitation and snow in Rhode Island. See Providence Weather Table.

Late-spring, late-summer and early-fall are excellent months for visiting Rhode Island, unless you love winter outdoor activities or want to enjoy some beach and sea resorts life in the summer.

Since Fall's foliage is particularly popular, causing millions of weekenders to visit New England, you may want to avoid Autumn's weekends to avoid crowds.


WHEN NOT TO GO TO RHODE ISLAND

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

Some days of July and August may be uncomfortable due to humidity and the high temperatures.
