It's hot! The height of the tourism season continues through August to the Labor Day weekend in early September. |

August can be hot and humid. The "dog days" (hottest and most humid days ) make everyone dream constantly of New England's beaches, chilly New England sea water, and air-conditioning. There may be only one or two dog days, or there may be more. Rain just makes it more humid. Many people escape to the cool shade of Vermont's Green Mountains, New Hampshire's White Mountains, or the cooler, sometimes foggy coast of Maine. All tourist services are filled to capacity, and advance reservations are advised for most everything, and essential for many things such as inn and resort hotel rooms, car ferries, and tables at the most popular vacation restaurants. Travel smart and enjoy smaller crowds and lower hotel prices: visit cities on weekends, and the countryside on weekdays. |

Ahhh, a New England beach! Just the place to be on a hot August day.
