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.

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.

Canada! If you haven’t been to the east coast, I highly recommend it. August is a great time to go.

Profile picture of Jaime

Jaime

I’ve lived on both coasts of Canada
I also love that coastline.
I’m concerned about traveling during monsoons or hurricanes ect.

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.

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.

Not raining lol I’ve lived in Vancouver lol and lower chance of poor weather.
