The most recommended month is "October"

October is one of the most recommended months for traveling to the United States. First of all, in terms of the weather, the heat subsides in many areas, and it is not too cold, so it is a very comfortable time to spend the time. The autumn leaves are at their best in the East Coast and Midwest, and beautiful scenery spreads out in natural parks and suburban drives. In particular, in New York State, Vermont, and Colorado, the contrast between the autumn leaves and the blue sky creates a spectacular view that is popular with many travelers. In addition, the temperature is mild even in urban areas, making it easy to sightsee, and you can enjoy various activities such as hiking, walking around town, and shopping. In addition, Halloween events are held all over the United States, and you can experience American culture with decorations, costumes, and parades. It is not as crowded as summer or the end of the year, and accommodation prices are relatively stable, so it is also excellent in terms of cost performance. It is the best season with a good balance of weather, nature, and cultural events.

The least recommended month is "August"

August is one of the least recommended months for traveling to the United States. First of all, the heatwaves reach their peak in many areas, with temperatures approaching 40 degrees every day, especially in the southern and inland areas. This extreme heat not only limits outdoor activities, but also increases the risk of getting sick. It is also the end of the summer vacation season across the United States, and there are many families and students traveling, so theme parks and tourist sites are crowded everywhere. In particular, at popular spots such as Disney World and Universal Studios, long waiting times and rising ticket prices are unavoidable. In addition, flight and hotel prices are likely to rise, which is a heavy burden on travelers in terms of costs. In some areas, it also overlaps with hurricane season, and there is a risk of schedule changes and cancellations due to bad weather. Considering these factors comprehensively, it is safe to say that August is a month to avoid.
