Millions of holidaymakers from around the world invade the beaches and countryside of Southern Europe. The climate is great for travel for just about the whole of the continent with just a few areas affected by extreme heat.The north of Europe is lovely during this month and summer is the ideal time to visit those countries that are generally considered a little cold and damp such as Ireland, Scotland or Holland.In AsiaThis season is considered the least favourable.The monsoon(季风)season is at its height over the majority of this area with the exception of only a few countries (Kerala or Tamil Nadu in India,Bali and the southern islands of Indonesia,etc.) Everywhere else is hot, and very damp climate prevails(盛行).In AfricaThe Maghreb countries are crowded with tourists.The climate is hot and dry.The Atlantic coast of Morocco is pleasant thanks to the ocean influence.Further to the south it is the rainy season and it is only along the latitude(纬度)of Kenya and Tanzania that the climate becomes favourable to visitors.In AmericaThe north is generally hot and dry(sometimes extremely hot in the deserts towards the west of the USA).Central America experiences a short rainy season at this time but towards the south the conditions are more favourable.To be avoided:Although July and August are favourable to travel“climatically”speaking,it is often not so pleasant when it comes to quietness and prices.The vast majorities of European countries have their main holidays during this period so the hotels are generally crowded and the prices high for the majority of destinations.223、Which part may be the last choice for travelling in August?AAsia.BAfrica.CSouthern Europe.DSouthern America.1、Besides climate,_ can contribute to your disappointment when travelling.Ahotel pricesBpeaceful enviro
