BEST TIME TO VISIT AND TRAVEL TO COLONIAL VIRGINIA

Except for those who want to enjoy the beach summer life, summer isn't a good period: Virginia's summer is often hot and humid, and only moderated by ocean breezes.

In the same way, winter (and even early spring) isn't the best season for visiting Virginia. may be cold and disagreeable. It's also a very changeable weather, with moderate precipitation all over the year (snow is normally restricted to December and January, and frequently restricted to colder regions.)

If we only consider the weather issue, then the best time to visit colonial Virginia is undoubtedly mid and late spring - May, June – or late-summer and autumn.

Besides weather, you may want to ponder the crowds present in the themes parks, or accommodation prices. And in this case, spring (and winter) are good periods...

WHEN NOT TO GO TO VIRGINIA

For many people Virginia's summer should be avoided. Humidity and high temperatures may turn some days of July and August very uncomfortable for visits. But, curiously, summer is the most popular season, and its weekends - and autumn weekends - are particularly packed (especially Saturdays).

For other people, winter is also a period to avoid, due to the possibility of snow or bitterly cold weather.
