NWT/ Yukon. And I know you said no US but Alaska. These have been on my hit list for a long time.
Doris
How about places in Canada? Maritimes, Vancouver Island , okanagan
Nikki
Mexico is amazing in august if you love the heat.
Joey
Lake Chapala for one. Temp stays relatively the same year round. . . 25C. I live in Mexico and studied the whole country before we moved here.
Nikki
Joey lol what part isn’t?
Joey
Not all of Mexico is really hot in the summer.
Natalie
Why not do a cruise....like ncl....from london up to norway? Shetland islands etc....
Ese
Galapagos
Amanda
Maybe Sweden or Norway? It’s the warmest time of year there. I’d stay away from the Mediterranean and Adriatic coasts since half of Europe heads there in August.
Janice
They say some of the nicest beaches in the world are east, New Brunswick
Sheryl
Hmmmm, FB is not allowing me to post my 30 second video of the Bay of Chaleur in Beresford, NB So I'll just post a picture...some of the best beaches in Canada are in NB.
Dina
London, love London. You can cruise as well.
Alana
I know you said nothing in the US but the weather in Hawaii is about the same temp all year...
Christin
Grande Prairie AB. There’s The Bear Creek Folk Festival to Attend!
Shabira
Mid August Europe and Africa can be nice. I lived in England for a long time. We had good weather. Lots to see, eat, fun for shopping, night clubs theatres etc
Neil
Edmonton. Folkfest, Fringe, etc. Sorry but we love Edmonton and Alberta in the summer
Ann
Lots of wonderful places in Alberta for the summer. Save going away for our winters. Europe is like a zoo in August. Mexico is to hot and humid
Jaime
We live in Edmonton

Lake Chapala on Mexico is nice in summer. Along the coast is HOT. I love in Yucatan
Allison
Joey, Lake Chapala is nice in the summer? Not like PV? Good to know
I’ve heard sooo many awesome things about that place
Miriam
I'm biased but you should check out Ireland if you like scenery, music, the pub scene and genuinely nice people. Sept is a good month to go. The weather is fine not much rain and the kids are all back in school.
Jocelyn
United Kingdom is nice in August, or take a snow vacation in New Zealand!
Tracey
Italy but Gladys is right. That's when Europeans travel.
Gladys
Europeans travel in August its totally booked and busy.
MG
And crazy expensive! Especially august!
Leigh
Europe would be my choice
Croatia I highly recommend.
Gladys
Vancouver Usland is like a dream in August.
Lincoln
Lithuania. I loved it. Much of Western Europe is in a heatwave at that time, I'd avoid it.
Lorna
Amsterdam or Germany.
Vel
Spain, Portugal Mata
Heidi
Portugal. Amazing weather, food, scenery, culture, port wine, it’s safe, and wonderful people. I’ve traveled all over the world and it’s one of my faves.
Allison
Not Mexico in the summer. I loooove Mexico but summer months are super humid and hot. It was so uncomfortable.
Brittney
Croatia!
Marj
Canada from coast to coast to coast
Jaime
Almost have as I am born and raised Canadian
Alyne
I went Africa in Sept a few years back, was beautiful, but if I could go anywhere in August it would be Europe...Ireland, Scotland, Italy...
Enjoy!
Wendy
Canada! If you haven’t been to the east coast, I highly recommend it. August is a great time to go.
Jaime
I’ve lived on both coasts of Canada
I also love that coastline.
I’m concerned about traveling during monsoons or hurricanes ect.
Sherene
Define what nice weather means to you? All of those places will be hot or very hot in August. Iceland would be temperate then I think.
Sherene
Jaime Skillen The UK would have good weather around then, or Eastern Europe. I've been to Mexico on Aug; don't go unless you want 40 degree weather. Asia in August you will melt from heat plus humidity.
Jaime
Not raining lol I’ve lived in Vancouver lol and lower chance of poor weather.
