Paro, Bhutan

Set at altitude, Paro (Bhutan) is best understood through its weather data: our 2015–2024 climate record puts its peak at a 78/100 sun score in October, exactly the kind of reliability you want for a trip of museums, food and old streets.

August is the heat peak, averaging 23°C highs; January is the cool end, when nights dip to around 2°C. Rain is most likely in July, when about 98% of days see meaningful rainfall, and least likely in December (29%). No month averages 24°C highs, so this is a destination for light-jacket sunshine rather than beach heat.

In short: plan around autumn if you can, keep spring as the fallback, and go into winter with managed expectations (its season score is 59).
